With persistent winter frosts, around 940mm of annual rainfall putting year-round pressure on roofs across Longwarry, re-pointing & re-bedding is not something to put off.

Roofing in Longwarry
Longwarry is a small dairy town on the Princes Highway with a housing stock dominated by older weatherboard and fibro homes from the mid-twentieth century, many of which retain their original corrugated iron or early metal roofing. Unlike the rapid growth seen in nearby Warragul and Drouin, Longwarry has developed more gradually, meaning the average age of roofing in the township is considerably older. The town's flat topography and proximity to low-lying farmland contribute to heavy winter frosts that systematically degrade exposed mortar and sealants over time. Proactive roof maintenance is the most effective way to manage the ongoing demands that persistent winter frosts, around 940mm of annual rainfall place on Longwarry properties. Scheduled cleaning, minor repairs and preventive treatments keep your roof performing at its best and help avoid costly surprises.
Why Act Now
Putting off re-pointing & re-bedding in Longwarry doesn't save money — it costs more in the long run. In this area, freeze-thaw cycles widen cracks and loosen fixings with each passing winter and heavy Gippsland rain will find any weakness in your roof or gutter system. Acting now means a straightforward, well-planned job rather than an emergency repair later. Call Town & Country on 1300 847 413 to arrange a free inspection before the next round of weather takes its toll.
Benefits of Professional Re-pointing & Re-bedding
Expert solutions tailored for Longwarry homes
Prevent Roof Leaks
Cracked bedding and pointing are one of the most common causes of roof leaks. Re-bedding and re-pointing seals these vulnerable areas.
Flexible, Long-Lasting Seal
Modern flexible pointing compound moves with thermal expansion and contraction rather than cracking like old cement pointing.
Secure Ridge Caps
Loose ridge caps can lift in high winds, exposing your roof cavity to rain. Fresh bedding locks them securely in place.
Local Gippsland Expertise
As a team based right here in Gippsland, we understand the conditions across Baw Baw Shire and bring that practical local knowledge to every job in Longwarry.
How It Works
A straightforward process from first contact to finished project
Roof Inspection
We inspect every ridge and hip cap to assess the condition of the existing bedding and pointing and determine the scope of work. We'll assess the specific challenges of your Longwarry property, including heavy winter frosts and moderate wind exposure.
Remove Old Bedding
Cracked, loose and deteriorated bedding mortar is carefully removed from beneath each ridge cap without disturbing the surrounding tiles.
Re-bed Ridge Caps
A fresh bed of flexible polymer-modified mortar is applied and each ridge cap is pressed into position and aligned.
Re-point with Flexible Compound
Flexible pointing compound is applied along the edges of each ridge cap to create a durable, waterproof seal that moves with the roof.
