Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Bentley?

Rebedding resets ridge caps and tile edges onto fresh mortar to keep water out of your roof structure. On the 1960s-1970s concrete tile homes around Ewing Avenue and Coolgardie Avenue, original mortar has failed completely after 50-plus years. Once mortar goes, tiles move in wind and water seeps under them. We remove caps, clear crumbling old mortar, and bed everything fresh with flexible polymer-modified mortar that moves with the roof as temperature changes. SHC homes with terracotta tiles often need selective rebedding of shifted tiles. Some tiles are too fragile to move, so we work around those. Rebedding is less disruptive than full repointing if only certain sections need work, and it keeps older homes weatherproof for another decade.

Rebedding re-lays the mortar bed under roof tiles, different from repointing joints between tiles. On Bentley's concrete tiles from the 1960s-1970s, the bed mortar fails when freeze-thaw cycles and thermal cycling crack it. The urban heat island accelerates this (2-3 degrees hotter means bigger daily swings). Comprehensive restoration includes rebedding critical roof sections alongside repointing to lock tiles securely back into place.

Benefits of Rebedding for Bentley 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 Bentley

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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.

What's the difference between rebedding and repointing?

Repointing fixes mortar joints between tiles. Rebedding re-lays the mortar bed under each tile that holds it in place. Both are needed on aging Bentley roofs, especially 1960s-1970s concrete tiles with failing mortar.

Is rebedding essential for all Bentley homes?

On concrete tile roofs with visible mortar failure, yes. It's often done with repointing as part of full restoration. Terracotta tiles rarely need rebedding unless tiles are loose. Assessment shows what's necessary.

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.
