Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Beckenham?
Your ridge caps and hip caps sit on a mortar bed that's been slowly failing for 50-60 years in Beckenham's moisture. When that mortar fails completely, water gets under the caps and into your roof structure, causing rapid deterioration. We remove the old mortar, seal the roof properly, and rebед the caps in flexible compound that moves with the roof and resists cracking. On a typical 1960s-1970s Beckenham home, the whole job takes a day and costs less than other restoration work. This is a good time to replace any cracked ridge tiles while we're on the roof. The caps take a hammering from Beckenham's wind and weight of river-mist saturation.
Beckenham's ridge and hip caps were originally bedded in lime mortar in the 1960s and 1970s. After 50-60 years of freeze-thaw cycles and the river corridor's sustained dampness, this mortar has completely failed, leaving gaps where water seeps under. Rebedding uses modern flexible compound that moves with seasonal temperature changes instead of cracking.

Benefits of Rebedding for Beckenham 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 Beckenham
- 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 Beckenham - FAQs

Why does my ridge look like it's pulling away from the roof tiles? ▾
Original mortar has failed completely. This is standard for 50-year-old Beckenham homes. Water is getting underneath. Rebedding with flexible compound fixes the seal and stops interior water damage around the ridge line.
Is rebedding the same job as repointing or are they different? ▾
Similar but different. Rebedding replaces the mortar under ridge and hip caps. Repointing addresses the mortar between roof tiles across the whole surface. Most Beckenham homes need both to be properly weatherproofed.
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.
