Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Atwell?
Rebedding is where we lift tiles and re-set them in fresh mortar. In Atwell, ground movement cracks the old mortar and tiles settle, which opens pathways for water. When tiles shift or rock, rebedding locks them back down solid. It's different from repointing, which is the ridge capping mortar, but it's critical in homes where clay soil movement has loosened the bed. We rebedding problem areas as part of full restoration, or sometimes as a standalone repair on problem tiles. It's not quick work, but it stops water moving through the roof system. Homes around Parkes Street and Brenchley Drive, which are the oldest in Atwell, often need significant rebedding to tighten up the tile bed.
Rebedding means replacing the mortar bed holding ridge capping and hip tiles to the roof structure. In Atwell, clay soil movement cracks the original mortar faster than it does in other suburbs. After 20-30 years, the cement mortar builder-grade homes received has lost flexibility and allows tiles to shift under thermal stress. New flexible polymer-modified mortar accommodates the movement your soil creates.

Benefits of Rebedding for Atwell 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 Atwell
- 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.
Rebedding in Atwell - FAQs

Is rebedding the same as repointing? ▾
No. Repointing is the mortar between roof tiles. Rebedding is the mortar holding the ridge capping and hips to the roof. Both need attention in Atwell, but rebedding is more critical because ground movement pulls ridge capping apart first. Both are usually tackled together during full restoration.
Do I need rebedding if my pointing looks fine? ▾
Possibly. Ridge capping mortars fail before point work becomes visible because they take more direct thermal stress. If you're having repointing done, rebedding should be included. If ridge capping looks level and secure from the ground, we assess during inspection, but homes over 25 years old in Atwell almost always need both.
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.
