Local service overview
Roof repointing in Perth
Tay & Tile provides roof repointing through the Roof Repair Perth website for local homeowners and property owners. When mortar is only one part of the fault, begin with the main roof repointing services in Perth guide.
Repointing is appropriate where mortar is the failed element; it should not be used to conceal loose coverings, split lead or movement in the supporting detail.
Perth's sandstone chimneys and traditional roof edges can contain several mortar types and construction periods, making careful preparation as important as the new joint.
We remove unstable material and confirm that movement in the surrounding roof has not caused the failure.
We explain the evidence, the proposed repair and the access assumptions in a free written quotation before work is agreed.
