Most of Sydney's housing stock wears a tile roof, and most tile roofs fail the same ways: cracked or slipped tiles, ridge capping mortar that's let go, and rusted valley irons. All three are repairable for a fraction of replacement cost — if they're caught before water gets into the timbers.
Cracked, chipped and slipped tile replacement (terracotta and concrete, with colour-matching from salvage stock where originals are discontinued), ridge capping rebedding and flexible repointing, valley iron replacement, sarking repairs, and re-securing loose pointing before it ends up in your gutters.
If the old mortar bed is sound and the caps are tight, flexible repointing over the top does the job. If caps rock or the bedding has cracked through, they need lifting and rebedding first — repointing over failed bedding is a 12-month fix sold as a 10-year one. We'll show you photos of which situation you actually have.
Cracked tiles and failed pointing are two of the most common leak sources we trace. If you've got a stain on the ceiling, start with roof leak repair in Sydney — we'll confirm whether tiles are the cause before quoting.

Yes — cracked and slipped tile replacement, ridge capping rebedding and repointing, valley iron replacement and leak detection for terracotta and concrete roofs of any age.
Usually yes — we hold and source salvaged terracotta and concrete tiles for discontinued profiles. Where an exact match isn't possible, we fit the closest profile in the least visible location and show you before fixing.
Repointing alone is fine when the mortar bed underneath is intact. If the bedding has failed, caps must be rebedded first. We photograph the bedding condition during the free inspection so you can see which applies.
