Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Applecross?
On tile roofs, the mortar bedding the ridge caps and hip tiles hardens and cracks over time, especially in river humidity. Rebedding means taking out the old cracked mortar and laying new bedding so the tiles sit solid and won't rock in the wind. It's detail work that matters more on heritage and mid-century places where the tiles are original. We quote rebedding separately from a restoration, using matching materials and paying attention to the finish so it looks right.
Rebedding means replacing the mortar under roof tiles that's cracked or eroded. In Applecross, especially on 50-70-year-old mid-century homes, the original bedding fails after decades of river humidity and temperature swings. If tiles are loose or tiles rock when you walk on the roof, rebedding's overdue. It's not glamorous work but it stops leaks and keeps tiles secure.

Benefits of Rebedding for Applecross Properties
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 in Applecross
- 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.
Why it matters: Not every cap needs the full job.
- 2
Lift the failed caps
Caps sitting on broken-down bedding are lifted off and the old mortar cleared away.
Why it matters: Fresh mortar needs a clean surface to bond to.
- 3
Re-bed on fresh mortar
The caps are re-laid on a fresh mortar bed, set straight and solid along the ridge.
Why it matters: The bedding is what physically holds the cap.
- 4
Repoint with flexible compound
Once bedded, the caps are sealed with flexible pointing, colour-matched to the roof.
Why it matters: Flexible pointing seals the join and moves with the roof.

How do I know if my tiles need rebedding? ▾
If tiles rock when you walk on them or you see mortar dust under the gutters, rebedding's needed. Loose tiles let water under the roof. A professional inspection will identify which tiles are at risk. It's common in Applecross properties over 30 years old.
Does rebedding work on heritage tiles? ▾
Yes. For mid-century homes in Applecross, we source matching tiles when replacements are needed. Rebedding preserves the original look while making the roof secure and watertight. It's part of heritage restoration work.
Does a rebedding job carry the leak warranty? ▾
Not by itself. The leak warranty applies only where the entire tiled roof has been restored including full repointing of all ridge capping - partial or sectional work doesn't carry it. A standalone rebed is still covered by the 12-month workmanship guarantee on the bedding and pointing we do, and we'll be clear about which applies before you commit.
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.
What Our Customers Say
"Roof Restorers Perth - Ryan - was very professional, and on time. He worked very hard, and cleaned up after himself to the delight of my husband. The results speak for themselves, and in fact, a neighbour who was passing by commented on how good the roof looked after Ryan had finished. I highly recommend him."
"Ryan was very responsive to all my messages, came out and gave us a quote to have a full roof restoration. They showed up on time every day, kept me in the loop with what they were doing and what was to come the next day. They cleaned up the mess and on top of all that, that roof looks fantastic! Looks brand new ! I would highly recommend these guys. Thanks so much for all your hard work and a fantastic job."
