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 Melbourne
A good roofer will quote ridge capping and repointing clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Melbourne. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
Operators who regularly work the Capital Cities area know the housing stock in Melbourne and the faults that come with it, which shows up as faster diagnosis and fewer surprises. Local familiarity is worth asking about when you compare quotes.
Quick answers
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.
Do roofers need to be licensed?+
Roof plumbing, guttering, downpipes and flashings, is licensed work in most states, and building work above certain values needs a licensed builder or roofing contractor. Ask for the licence and public liability insurance before anyone climbs. Door-knockers offering same-day restoration deals after storms are a well-worn scam pattern.
