Worried About Cracks and Leaks in Your Tile Roof?
Neglecting the mortar on your roof’s ridge capping can lead to significant problems for your home. Don’t wait until minor cracks become major issues that threaten the integrity of your property.
Risk of Water Leaks
Cracked or missing mortar allows rainwater to seep under tiles, causing internal water damage, timber rot, and mould growth.
Expensive Major Repairs
What starts as a small mortar issue can quickly escalate into needing full roof restoration or structural repairs, costing thousands more.
Pests and Vermin Entry
Gaps in mortar provide easy access points for birds, rodents, and insects to nest in your roof cavity, creating noise and potential health hazards.
Loose or Falling Tiles
Weakened mortar compromises the security of ridge tiles, making them susceptible to becoming dislodged during strong winds, posing a safety risk.
Hidden Damage Below
Surface cracks are often just the visible sign of deeper issues with the bedding mortar underneath, requiring expert assessment to identify and fix.
The Solution: Professional Roof Repointing
Save Money Long-Term
Investing in timely repointing is significantly cheaper than dealing with the extensive damage caused by water leaks or structural issues down the track.
Watertight Protection
Properly repointed ridge capping creates a strong, watertight seal using flexible compound, preventing water from entering your roof space.
Enhanced Durability
Flexible pointing compound withstands natural roof movement and expansion better than traditional mortar, preventing future cracks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repointing
Roof repointing is the process of renewing the mortar that holds the ridge capping tiles in place on your roof. It’s crucial because cracked or damaged mortar allows water to penetrate, leading to leaks, timber rot, and structural damage. Repointing protects your home from these issues and extends the roof’s life.
The lifespan of mortar varies depending on the original mix and exposure to weather. Generally, traditional sand and cement mortar may need attention every 10-20 years. Modern flexible pointing compounds can last longer. We recommend a professional inspection every 5-10 years to assess the mortar condition.
Flexible pointing is a polymer-based compound used instead of or over traditional sand and cement mortar for the final layer on ridge capping. It’s superior because it can flex slightly with natural roof movement, preventing the cracking common with rigid mortar. This provides a more durable and watertight seal.
The duration depends on the size of your roof and the extent of the work required (just repointing vs. re-bedding and repointing). A standard residential roof repointing job typically takes 1-3 days, weather permitting.
Generally, standard home insurance policies cover sudden, unexpected damage (like a tree falling on your roof). However, they often exclude damage resulting from poor maintenance, which includes deteriorated mortar. Insurers may require repointing before covering leak damage. Proactive repointing helps ensure your roof is in a maintained state.
