True Roof operating Melbourne wide.

Protect your home from leaks and damage. True Roof provides professional roof repointing services to secure your tile roof and extend its lifespan. We use quality flexible pointing compound for a durable, watertight seal across Melbourne.
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.
Cracked mortar and bedding create gaps where water can seep under tiles, damaging sarking and roof timbers.
Ignoring minor pointing issues leads to bigger problems like timber rot, ceiling damage, and mould, costing thousands more.
Most damage from failed mortar happens out of sight under the tiles or within the roof cavity, often only discovered when leaks appear.
Proactive repointing is a small investment that prevents major structural damage and avoids expensive repairs down the track.
We use premium flexible pointing compounds that flex with your roof’s movement, resisting cracking better than traditional mortar.
A fully sealed roof protects your home’s interior from water ingress, preventing costly damage to ceilings, walls, and timbers.
By maintaining the bedding and pointing, you ensure your roof tiles stay secure and functional for many more years.
We make restoring your ridge capping and securing your roof tiles simple and stress-free:
We perform a thorough roof inspection to assess the condition of your bedding and pointing and provide a detailed, no-obligation quote.
We remove old, damaged mortar and dust, replacing loose or cracked bedding mortar where necessary for a solid base.
New, durable flexible pointing compound is applied over the bedding to create a strong, weather-resistant seal on all ridge capping.
This process ensures your ridge tiles are securely fastened and watertight, protecting your home for years.

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.
Don’t wait for costly problems to arise from failing mortar. Get your tile roof repointed by True Roof’s experts and enjoy peace of mind knowing your home is protected.
