True Roof operating Melbourne wide.
Roof tiles are built to last, but the mortar holding your ridge capping wears out over time. Ignoring cracked or failing mortar can lead to costly leaks and damage to your home.
Failing mortar on your roof’s ridge capping is more than just an eyesore. It’s a serious vulnerability that can compromise your home’s integrity and lead to significant problems.
Old mortar mix cracks due to weather and roof movement. This weakens the hold on ridge tiles, potentially leading to costly structural issues.
Gaps in mortar allow rainwater to penetrate, causing leaks into your ceiling and walls. This can result in expensive internal damage and rot.
Broken or missing mortar provides easy access points for rodents, birds, and insects to enter your roof cavity, creating unwanted infestations.
Our professional repointing creates a watertight seal, preventing rainwater from getting under ridge tiles and into your home.
Protecting your ridge capping maintains the integrity of your roof structure, significantly extending its overall working life.
We use high-quality flexible pointing compounds that withstand roof movement, preventing future cracks unlike traditional mortar.
Addressing failing mortar early saves you thousands by preventing the major water damage and structural repairs caused by neglect.
We make restoring your roof’s integrity straightforward and hassle-free:
We assess the condition of your ridge capping and tiles, identifying areas with loose or cracked mortar and any broken tiles needing replacement.
Old mortar is removed, surfaces are cleaned, and new bedding mortar is applied where needed. Then, flexible pointing compound is expertly trowelled into place.
We ensure all debris is cleared from your roof and property. A final inspection confirms the repointing is completed to our high standards.

Traditional mortar mixes lose their strength and crack over time due to exposure to the elements, temperature changes, and natural roof movement. Flexible pointing compounds are designed to withstand this movement better.
The time required depends on the size and complexity of your roof, as well as the current condition of the mortar. A typical residential roof might take anywhere from one to a few days, weather permitting.
We highly recommend flexible pointing compound over traditional mortar. Its flexibility allows it to move with the roof structure, preventing the cracks that occur with rigid mortar and providing a longer-lasting, watertight seal.
Re-bedding involves securing the ridge tiles to the roof with a fresh base layer of mortar. Repointing is the process of applying the final layer of coloured, often flexible, compound over the bedding mortar to create a strong seal and tidy finish.
Don’t wait for minor cracks to become major leaks and expensive damage. Investing in professional roof repointing now secures your roof’s integrity and saves you money in the long run.
