Skilled work for tiled roofs.
Our Melbourne roof tilers replace broken concrete and terracotta tiles and repair loose or cracked ridge capping. We check the mortar underneath before recommending rebedding, repointing or a local tile repair.
Our work
When to call
Tell us what you have noticed. We can assess the cause and explain the next step.
Broken, chipped or slipped tiles that leave the roof vulnerable.
Failed bedding or pointing around hips, gables and main ridges.
Brittle or missing mortar that no longer holds ridge work securely.
Storm, foot-traffic or branch damage affecting a defined roof area.
Roofer's explanation
These repairs address different faults. We check the tiles and the mortar beneath the ridge caps before recommending the work.
Broken tiles are replaced with a suitable profile. Where the mortar base has failed, ridge caps need to be lifted and rebedded on a sound base.
Pointing is the outer finish along the ridge-cap edges. If the bedding is sound, the ridge may need repointing without full rebedding.
Recent project: Diamond Creek gable repairs
We rebedded and repointed the terracotta-roof gables after fascia and scotia replacement. The pointing checked from our restoration eight years earlier was still firm, so this visit focused on the gables. The project photographs show the preparation and terracotta-coloured finish.

We identify damaged tiles and assess bedding, pointing and roof junctions.
The quote separates tile replacement, rebedding and repointing so you know what is needed.
Tiles and ridge work are repaired using methods suited to the roof.

Call 0433 944 303Not always. A local repair may be enough where the remaining ridge work is sound. Widespread deterioration can justify repointing more of the ridges and hips. We identify the affected areas in your quote.
The number and availability of replacement tiles, length of ridge work, condition of the bedding, roof pitch and access affect the price. Rebedding and repointing are itemised so you can understand the work and applicable warranty.
Often, but it depends on the tile profile, colour and availability. The inspection helps identify a suitable replacement. An exact colour match may not be possible because existing tiles weather over time. We explain practical matching limits before the work is agreed.
Bedding is the mortar base that supports ridge caps. Pointing is the flexible outer layer that seals and finishes the ridge edges. Rebedding is only needed where the base has failed.
Look for the ridge and hip sections included, any gable work, areas needing rebedding, tile replacement, preparation and applicable warranty terms. Sound bedding and failed bedding need different treatment. Repointing alone does not repair damaged valley metal, faulty flashing or every cause of a roof leak.
They can contribute to water entry and loose ridge caps, but the full roof area should be checked because leaks can have more than one possible path.
