TILE ROOF REPOINTING BRISBANE
Need tile roof repointing in Brisbane or the Gold Coast? KWR Roofing fixes cracked mortar and loose ridge caps with trusted, simple and long-lasting repairs.
Tired of Cracked Mortar? We Keep Your Home Safe.
Is the cement holding your tiles together looking tired and cracked? The broken material along your roof ridge caps is old mortar or old pointing. When this starts to crumble, your home is no longer safe. Loose ridge caps can let water enter your roof space or even blow off during a Queensland storm.
At KWR Roofing, we are your local experts for tile roof repointing Brisbane and the Gold Coast. We fix these issues properly. Since 1991, our team has been giving Brisbane homeowners the peace of mind they need before storm season hits.
Does Your Roof Need Repointing?
Your ridge capping takes a beating from the weather. Dust builds up. Sun bakes the mortar. Rain soaks into tiny cracks. The pointing that once sealed the edges starts to crumble and fall away.
This happens to every older roof. You cannot stop it. Some homeowners try sealing the cracks, which works temporarily. But if the pointing has already started breaking down, the problem continues underneath.
You need to inspect your roof closely. Walk around your property and look up at the ridge line. Check for these warning signs:
- Cracks in the pointing along ridge capping edges
The pointing should look solid and uniform. Deep cracks or missing sections mean the seal has weakened.
- Exposed gaps between ridge tiles
Where pointing has fallen away completely, you will see gaps that let water through. - Crumbling or powdery mortar
Touch the pointing carefully. If it crumbles under light pressure, it has lost its strength.
- Water stains on your ceiling near the roof peak
If water has made it inside your home, your pointing has already failed.
Repointing means removing the old, damaged mortar from the edges and applying fresh pointing. This seals the gaps between your ridge capping and tiles. The work protects your roof from water penetration without disturbing the bedding underneath.
Our Re-bedding and Repointing Process
The work follows a careful sequence. Each step protects your safety and ensures the repairs last for years.
Step 1: Set Up Safety Equipment – Workers erect scaffolding around your roof edges and wear specialized safety gear including gripping shoes, gloves, helmets, and protective glasses.
Step 2: Inspect and Mark Damaged Areas – The team inspects your entire ridge line to map out which sections need work and identify broken tiles for replacement.
Step 3: Clean the Ridge Capping – Workers scrape away moss, brush off dirt, and remove years of accumulated concrete dust to reveal the mortar’s true condition.
Step 4: Remove Old Mortar and Damaged Tiles – Workers use a slate hammer to gently break apart the failed mortar and remove it down to solid roof surface.
Step 5: Apply Fresh Bedding Mortar – Workers mix fresh mortar from cement and sand, then apply it in thick, even layers along the ridge line.
Step 6: Install Ridge Tiles – Each ridge tile gets pressed firmly into the fresh bedding and aligned to create a perfectly straight ridge line.
Step 7: Apply Flexible Pointing – Workers apply flexible pointing cement along the edges after the bedding solidifies to seal gaps between tiles.
Step 8: Seal the Mortar – A quality sealer gets applied across all new mortar work to bind particles tighter and prevent cracking.
Step 9: Prime and Paint (If Required) – Workers apply primer and paint to the ridge capping or entire roof if additional protection or appearance improvement is needed.
The Full Tile Roof Repointing & Rebedding Solution
We do not just repair the cracks, we fix the problem completely. Repointing is the final work to do that keeps the water out and it usually needs tiled roof re-bedding first.
Our process is simple and transparent:
- Honest Appraisal: We check your roof to see if you need just roof repointing or a full re-bed and repoint.
- Preparation: We remove all the old, weak material.
- Re-bedding: We secure the ridge capping onto a new, strong foundation.
- Repointing: We apply a branded and durable flexible pointing material. This latest material is much better than old cement because it moves with your roof in the heat and cold, preventing new cracks.
