Is Your Tile Roof’s Mortar Failing?
Old mortar and cracked ridge capping aren’t just cosmetic issues. Failed pointing allows water penetration, leading to leaks, timber rot, and costly structural problems. Ignoring it puts your home’s integrity at risk.
Risk of Water Leaks
Cracked mortar and bedding create gaps where water can seep under tiles, damaging sarking and roof timbers.
Expensive Future Repairs
Ignoring minor pointing issues leads to bigger problems like timber rot, ceiling damage, and mould, costing thousands more.
Hidden Damage Below
Most damage from failed mortar happens out of sight under the tiles or within the roof cavity, often only discovered when leaks appear.
The Benefits of Professional Roof Repointing
Save Money Long Term
Proactive repointing is a small investment that prevents major structural damage and avoids expensive repairs down the track.
Durable Flexible Pointing
We use premium flexible pointing compounds that flex with your roof’s movement, resisting cracking better than traditional mortar.
Prevents Water Leaks & Rot
A fully sealed roof protects your home’s interior from water ingress, preventing costly damage to ceilings, walls, and timbers.
Extend Roof Lifespan
By maintaining the bedding and pointing, you ensure your roof tiles stay secure and functional for many more years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repointing
Over time, the mortar used for ridge capping and tile bedding can crack and crumble due to weather and roof movement. Repointing with flexible compound seals these gaps, preventing water leaks, pest entry, and loose tiles.
Flexible pointing is a modern, durable compound that replaces traditional hard mortar on ridge capping. It is designed to flex with the natural movement of your roof, significantly reducing the risk of cracking compared to old mortar mixes.
The lifespan of mortar pointing varies depending on materials and weather exposure. We recommend regular roof inspections every 5-10 years. Visible cracks, crumbling mortar, or loose ridge tiles indicate it’s time for repointing.
DIY patches using silicone or standard mortar often provide only a temporary fix. Proper repointing requires removing old material, re-bedding if needed, and applying flexible compound correctly at height – a job best left to experienced, insured tradesmen for safety and effectiveness.
The duration depends on the size of your roof and the extent of the damage. Most residential repointing projects can be completed within 1-3 days by our professional team.
