Roof Rebedding Perth
Roof rebedding in Perth
The ridge and hip caps along the top of your roof sit on a bed of mortar. Over the years, in Perth’s heat, that mortar bed breaks down, and the caps work loose, slide, and let water straight into the roof. Rebedding re-lays those caps on fresh mortar so they sit solid again. It’s the fix that pointing alone can’t do, because pointing seals the join but the bedding is what actually holds the cap down.
We’ve been working on Perth tiled roofs for 15+ years.
Rebedding and repointing go together
People mix the two up, and they shouldn’t. The bedding holds the cap; the pointing seals it. If the bedding’s gone, sealing the join with new pointing is a waste of money because the cap is still moving underneath. We re-bed any cap that needs it on fresh mortar, then seal the lot with flexible pointing in one visit. That’s how you get a ridge line that’s both solid and watertight.
Why flexible pointing over the new bedding
Once the caps are bedded, we point them with flexible compound, not the old rigid cement mortar that cracks the first time the roof heats up and cools down. Flexible pointing moves with the roof and stays sealed for 10 to 15 years or more, and it comes in a range of colours so the finished ridge matches the tiles.
What it costs
Price depends on how many caps need re-bedding and how easy the roof is to get onto. We give you a fixed price after a look, and we’ll be straight about whether you need rebedding or just repointing. Call 08 6388 4492 or request a quote online.

Benefits of Rebedding
Fixes caps at the cause
When the mortar bed under a ridge cap breaks down, the cap loosens and lets water in. Rebedding re-lays the cap on fresh mortar so it sits solid again, which pointing alone can't do.
Done with repointing
Rebedding and repointing go together. We re-bed the caps, then seal them with flexible pointing, so the whole ridge line is solid and watertight in one job.
Stops caps lifting in the wind
A cap sitting on failed bedding can slide or lift in a Perth storm. Rebedding fixes it down properly before it ends up in the yard.
Cheaper than the damage
Loose caps and a failing ridge line let water straight into the roof. Rebedding early costs far less than the leaks and ceiling damage that follow.
Our Rebedding Process
- 1
Check the ridge line
We inspect every ridge and hip cap and the mortar bed under it, and work out which caps need re-bedding versus just repointing.
Not every cap needs the full job. This prevents paying to re-bed caps that only needed pointing.
- 2
Lift the failed caps
Caps sitting on broken-down bedding are lifted off and the old mortar cleared away.
Fresh mortar needs a clean surface to bond to. This prevents new bedding failing early over old debris.
- 3
Re-bed on fresh mortar
The caps are re-laid on a fresh mortar bed, set straight and solid along the ridge.
The bedding is what physically holds the cap. This prevents caps loosening, sliding or lifting again.
- 4
Repoint with flexible compound
Once bedded, the caps are sealed with flexible pointing, colour-matched to the roof.
Flexible pointing seals the join and moves with the roof. This prevents the hairline cracking that rigid cement pointing starts within a couple of summers.
FAQs
What's the difference between rebedding and repointing? ⌄
Bedding is the mortar bed the ridge cap sits on. Pointing is the flexible compound that seals the join on top. Rebedding re-lays the cap on fresh mortar; repointing seals it. A cap with failed bedding needs both. We'll tell you which yours needs.
How much does roof rebedding cost in Perth? ⌄
It depends on how many caps need re-bedding and access to the roof. Call 08 6388 4492 or request a quote for a fixed price. We usually rebed and repoint in the one visit, which is more cost-effective than doing them separately.
Do I need rebedding or just repointing? ⌄
If the caps are still solid and only the pointing has cracked, repointing alone does it. If the caps are loose or the mortar bed underneath has crumbled, they need re-bedding first. Pointing over failed bedding just fails again.
How long does rebedding last? ⌄
Caps re-bedded on fresh mortar and sealed with flexible pointing typically last 10 to 15 years or more.
Can you match the pointing to my roof colour? ⌄
Yes. Flexible pointing comes in a range of colours and we match it to your tiles for a clean, consistent ridge line.
