Complete Tile Roofing Services for Illawarra Homes
Tile roofs are built to last — but they don’t last forever without maintenance. Cracked tiles, deteriorated ridge capping and blocked valleys are common issues on Illawarra homes, especially those exposed to coastal weather.
Mundell Roofing provides comprehensive tile roofing services, from single tile replacements to complete roof restorations.
Our Tile Roofing Services
Broken & Cracked Tile Replacement
Even a single cracked tile can allow water into your roof cavity, causing timber rot and ceiling damage. We
source matching tiles and replace them quickly to prevent further damage.
Ridge Capping Rebedding & Repointing
Over time, the cement bedding under ridge caps cracks and crumbles. We remove the old bedding, reset each cap on fresh bedding compound and apply
flexible pointing for a long-lasting, watertight seal.
Tile Roof Restoration
A full restoration can add years of life to your tile roof. Our restoration service includes:
- High-pressure cleaning
- Broken tile replacement
- Ridge capping rebedding & repointing
- Valley iron replacement
- Protective roof coating (if required)
Valley Replacement
Valleys are where two roof planes meet — and where leaks are most likely to occur. We replace corroded or damaged valley irons with new Colorbond valleys for reliable water flow.
Tile Roof Leak Repairs
We systematically inspect your tile roof to find the exact source of the leak — whether it’s displaced tiles, failed flashing, blocked valleys or deteriorated pointing — and fix it properly.
Tile-to-Colorbond Conversion
Want to ditch the tiles altogether? We provide full
tile-to-Colorbond roof conversions, giving your home a modern look with a lighter, low-maintenance roofing system.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tile Roofing
How do I know if my ridge capping needs repointing?
If you can see cracked, loose or missing cement along the ridge line of your roof, it’s time for rebedding and repointing. We offer
free inspections to assess the condition of your ridge capping.
Can you match my existing roof tiles?
In most cases, yes. We stock a wide range of common concrete and terracotta tile profiles. For discontinued tiles, we source the closest possible match.
Is it better to restore or replace my tile roof?
It depends on the overall condition. If the tile surface is sound and the structure is solid, a restoration can extend its life by 15–20 years at a fraction of the replacement cost. We’ll give you honest advice based on what we find.
How long does a tile roof restoration take?
Most residential tile roof restorations take
2–5 days depending on the size of the roof and the extent of repairs required.
