Roof repointing involves the renewal of the outer pointing — the mortar or flexible compound that holds the ridge caps in place on your roof. Aging, weather, and structural movement cause these materials to crack and erode over time. Repointing fills those voids, stabilizes the structure, and protects roofs from water leaks.
On average, repairing a roof will set you back somewhere between $120 and $170 per m², depending on your roof’s size, pitch, condition, and labour. The price typically includes cleaning, setting, and repointing. Receiving a fixed price from a reputable contractor means clarity over costs.
In most cases, the roof should be repointed every 10 years to keep the it intact and prevent leakage. But this depends your roof’s age, the materials it’s made from, and how much it’s exposed to wind, rain, and sun. Regular inspections will let you know when it’s time.
Roof pointing will generally cure about 60% in the first 24 hours, and even faster when the weather is hot and dry. Full strength usually takes a couple of days. Avoid walking on the roof or using high-pressure water during that time.
