Tile roofs are built to last, but the mortar holding the ridge capping is not. Damaged mortar is the most common cause of leaks and future expensive roof repairs.
Cracked mortar and loose ridge tiles are more than just unsightly. They are common signs of wear and tear that can lead to significant problems if ignored.
Gaps in deteriorated mortar allow rainwater to penetrate the roof structure leading to expensive ceiling and wall damage.
Ignoring early signs of wear like cracked ridge capping means minor issues can escalate into major structural repairs costing thousands.
Often the worst mortar damage is hidden underneath the ridge caps invisible from the ground leaving your home vulnerable without you knowing.
Address mortar issues early with repointing and rebedding to avoid the much higher cost of extensive roof leak repairs or a full replacement later.
Sealing cracks and gaps with new mortar and flexible pointing ensures your ridge capping is watertight protecting your home from rain damage.
Proper repointing strengthens the ridge capping and prevents tile movement adding many years to the life of your tile roof.
Secure ridge tiles withstand strong winds better and a well-maintained roof can help reduce risks assessed by insurance providers.

We stand behind the quality of our roof repointing work. We use durable flexible pointing compound designed for the Melbourne climate providing a watertight seal for years to come.
Roof repointing is the process of renewing the external layer of mortar around the ridge capping of a tiled roof. This layer protects the bedding mortar underneath and provides a seal against weather.
Traditional sand and cement mortar can crack easily with roof expansion and contraction. Flexible pointing compound is designed to move slightly with the roof preventing cracks and maintaining a durable watertight seal over time.
With quality materials like the flexible pointing we use professional repointing can last for many years depending on weather conditions and roof exposure. We offer a guarantee of up to 7+ years on our repointing work.
Look for cracks in the mortar around the ridge tiles loose or missing mortar sections or loose ridge tiles themselves. If you see any of these signs it’s time to consider a professional inspection.
Yes. Damaged or cracked mortar is a primary entry point for water. Professional repointing seals these gaps preventing leaks and protecting the roof structure and your home’s interior.
Don’t wait for small cracks to become big expensive problems. Protect your home and invest in the longevity of your roof with professional repointing from True Roof.
