About ridge capping and repointing
The mortar bedding under ridge capping cracks with decades of roof movement, letting caps loosen and water in; it is the single most common tiled-roof failure. Modern repointing uses flexible compound over fresh bedding and outlasts the old rigid mortar by years. Loose caps are also a wind hazard, so this is not a cosmetic job.
Getting quotes in Canberra
When you enquire about ridge capping and repointing, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. Specific enquiries get accurate quotes; vague ones get a callout fee and an on-site surprise.
Local knowledge counts
Because roofers in the Capital Cities region tend to group nearby jobs, flexible timing works in your favour in Canberra: if the work can wait a day or two, say so and ask whether that changes the price.
Quick answers
How long does a roof restoration last?+
A quality restoration with proper preparation, rebedding and a two-coat membrane typically lasts 10 to 15 years, and coating warranties in that range are common. Cut-price jobs skimping on preparation fail in two or three. Warranty terms should be written, transferable, and specific about what is covered.
How much do roof repairs cost?+
Minor repairs like a few tiles or a flashing reseal typically run $250 to $600, valley or ridge work $600 to $1,500, and full roof restorations commonly $3,500 to $8,000 depending on size and condition. Gutter replacement is usually quoted per metre, often $30 to $70 installed. Steep or two-storey roofs cost more for the same defect.
How do I know if my roof needs restoring or replacing?+
Tiles that are merely dirty, mossy or have failed pointing restore well; tiles that are porous and crumbling, or metal sheets rusted through, need replacement. A roofer should show you photos from on the roof, not just a drone-shot sales pitch. If more than a small fraction of tiles are cracked, price both options.
