Are Crumbling Roof Tiles and Mortar Causing Concern?
The mortar holding your roof’s ridge tiles is the first line of defence against the elements. When it starts to crack or break down, it leaves your home vulnerable.
Water Leaks & Structural Damage
Cracked mortar creates entry points for water leading to ceiling leaks timber rot and costly internal damage over time.
Avoidable Expensive Repairs
Ignoring minor repointing issues now means dealing with much larger more expensive roof repairs or even a full roof replacement later.
Hidden Damage Risk
Damage is often invisible from ground level. Loose tiles or cracked bedding can exist without obvious signs until a major storm hits.

True Roof’s expert repointing service addresses these issues directly providing lasting protection and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions About Repointing
Roof repointing is the process of replacing the crumbling or missing mortar (pointing) that sits on top of the cement bedding holding your ridge and hip tiles in place. It’s crucial because the mortar is the primary seal preventing water from entering under the tiles and causing leaks or timber rot.
The lifespan of repointing depends on the materials used and workmanship. Traditional sand and cement mortar can crack over time due to roof movement. True Roof uses modern flexible pointing compounds designed to withstand roof movement and weather providing a much longer lasting seal often 7 years or more.
Look for visible cracks gaps or crumbling sections in the mortar along the ridge and hip tiles. Loose ridge tiles are another sign. Water stains on ceilings inside your home indicate that leaks are already occurring likely due to failed mortar.
Re-bedding is the process of replacing the underlying cement mortar that physically secures the ridge and hip tiles. Repointing is the coloured flexible layer applied over the bedding for sealing and aesthetics. Often if the pointing is failing the bedding is also compromised and both re-bedding and repointing are necessary for a proper long-term repair.
The cost varies depending on the size of your roof the extent of the damage access to the roof and whether re-bedding is also needed. Prices for repointing typically start from around $1200 AUD for smaller jobs. We provide a free detailed quote after a thorough inspection.
