Roof Tile Repointing
to Keep Ridge Caps Sealed
Roof tile repointing seals the joins along your ridges and hips with a fresh layer of flexible pointing. It stops water getting in through cracked mortar and keeps ridge caps firmly in place. We match the colour to your roof, and our owner is on site for every job.

What Is Roof Tile Repointing?
Pointing is the visible strip of compound along the edges of your ridge and hip caps. It seals the gap between the caps and the tiles, and protects the bedding underneath from water.
Roof tile repointing replaces old, cracked pointing with a new layer. When the bedding underneath is still sound, repointing alone is often all a roof needs.
Signs Your Roof Tiles Need Repointing
Common signs include:
- Hairline cracks in the pointing: Visible along the ridges.
- Pieces of pointing missing: Leaving gaps at the edges of caps.
- Mortar flakes in gutters: From weathered pointing.
- Damp patches near ridges: In the roof space or on ceilings.
How We Repoint Roof Tiles
Our roof tile repointing process:
- Clean the ridges: Removing dirt, loose pointing, and moss.
- Prepare the surface: So the new pointing bonds properly.
- Apply flexible pointing: Pressed firmly into the joins.
- Tool and finish: Smoothed to a neat, even line.
- Clean up: Excess removed from tiles and gutters.
Pointing Colours to Match Your Tiles
Flexible pointing comes in a wide range of colours, so it can blend with your tiles or match a planned roof coating. Popular choices include charcoal, terracotta, and various greys and browns.
We will help you pick a colour that looks right from the street.
Repointing Concrete and Terracotta Tiles
Both concrete and terracotta roofs need repointing over time. On concrete tile roofs, we often repoint as part of a restoration before coating. On terracotta roofs, where coating is optional, we focus on a neat colour match so the ridges look tidy.
See our terracotta tile repairs and cement tile repairs.
Roof Tile Repointing Cost
The cost depends on the length of ridges and hips, the roof height and pitch, and whether any sections need rebedding first. We give you a fixed written quote after a free inspection.
