Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Bertram?
Rebedding is replacing the mortar under the ridge capping and hip tiles where ground movement and seasonal moisture swings have cracked the old rigid cement. In Bertram, this is essential. Clay soils here swell in winter and shrink in summer, putting constant stress on rigid mortar joints. Most homes built in the mid-2000s have rigid cement bedding that can't handle that movement. We use flexible polymer-modified mortar instead, which moves with the roof structure without cracking. It's part of a full tile roof restoration, but if your ridge is cracked and leaking, rebedding alone might get you another few years before a full restoration is needed. It's often a necessary stopgap on older Bertram tile roofs.
Rebedding is securing tiles that have lifted or shifted due to clay soil movement. Bertram's reactive clay causes ground heave in winter that lifts tiles and breaks bedding. When spring shrinkage happens, tiles don't reseat properly. Rebedding every five to seven years keeps them locked down, especially on northern slopes where movement is worst.

Benefits of Rebedding for Bertram 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 Bertram
- 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.

What's the difference between rebedding and repointing? ▾
Repointing replaces the mortar between tiles. Rebedding re-secures lifted tiles to the battens with fresh mortar. Both often needed in Bertram due to clay soil movement shifting the entire roof structure.
How often do Bertram tile roofs need rebedding? ▾
Every five to seven years if ground movement is active. Newer homes towards Wellard might go ten years. Older central Bertram homes have done it already. We check during inspections and advise.
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.

"The overall experience dealing with the Roof Restorers was excellent. Ryan was very flexible in coordinating the job and dealing with the unreliable weather. Jack was very professional and explained every step of the project and kept us informed on the progress. He was always on time and was articulate in cleaning the roof, repairing areas, including the ridge caps and then restoring the paintwork. We are happy with the final result. I'm very confident in recommending this company. 👍👍👍👍👍"
