Expert Roof Pointing
Roof bedding and pointing are essential parts of your roof’s structure. They require regular maintenance to ensure your house stays in top condition.
Roof bedding is a cement mortar that holds your roof tiles in place. Roof pointing is a flexible material that goes over the bedding and seals the ridge cap to the tile. It keeps water and other substances out of your roof, ceiling and home.
Over time, roof bedding and pointing are subject to natural wear. If yours have worn out, your tiles are no longer secure. At The Roof Man, we specialise in quality roof pointing for concrete tile roofs that’s engineered for local conditions.
What Happens When Roof Pointing Fails
The signs can be subtle at first: fine cracks in the pointing, leaf debris collecting along the ridge, tiles that rattle or shift during wind gusts. But left unchecked, the consequences escalate:

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Roof pointing is the final layer of flexible mortar applied over the bedding that holds ridge and hip tiles in place on tiled roofs. It seals the joints, keeps tiles secure, and prevents water from entering under the tiles, especially during high winds and heavy rain. Without proper pointing, ridge tiles can loosen or leak over time, causing internal water damage.
You might need roof repointing if you notice:
– Cracked or missing mortar along your ridge or hip tiles
– Loose or rattling tiles in the wind
– Mortar pieces in your gutters
– Water spots or ceiling leaks near roof peaks
– Your roof hasn’t been checked in 10+ years
If you’re unsure, book a free inspection and we’ll provide a full photo report.
Roof bedding is the base mortar layer that physically holds ridge tiles in place. Roof pointing, on the other hand, is the flexible material applied over the bedding to seal joints and improve weather resistance. Over time, pointing wears out faster than bedding and often needs to be replaced first.
Roof pointing involves working at heights, handling fragile tiles, and using specialist flexible compounds. Unless you’re experienced with roof work and have the proper safety gear, it’s not recommended as a DIY job. Improper pointing can lead to worse leaks and costly future repairs.
The cost varies based on the size of the roof, the condition of existing pointing, and whether re-bedding is required. At The Roof Man, we offer free inspections and quotes — no pressure, just honest advice backed by photos so you can make an informed decision.
