Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Bicton?
Rebedding is resetting the mortar under ridge caps and along the edges of tiles where the original bedding has cracked from decades of moisture cycling. Bicton's humidity makes this worse because water gets in, freezes slightly in cooler months, and breaks the mortar apart. After 30 to 50 years, most Bicton homes need full rebedding of at least the ridge and valleys. We remove the old cracked mortar, clean the tiles, and pack in new flexible pointing that moves with seasonal expansion. This prevents water creeping under the tiles and causing interior leaks. Rebedding is often included in a full restoration, but if you're just doing a repair, expect to pay $1,500 to $3,500 depending on how much ridge needs replacement.
Rebedding Bicton's roof ridge caps is routine maintenance, especially on older homes where mortar has failed from 30 to 50 years of river humidity and freeze-thaw cycles. Failed bedding lets water run under caps into ceiling cavities. Complete ridge rebedding during restoration prevents future leaks and is often cheaper than dealing with interior water damage.

Benefits of Rebedding for Bicton 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 Bicton
- 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 is rebedding and why does my Bicton roof need it? ▾
Rebedding replaces deteriorated mortar under ridge caps. River moisture and age break down mortar over 30 to 50 years. Failed bedding lets water seep under caps into the roof cavity. We rebedding during restoration or when caps are loose.
Does rebedding prevent leaks on older Bicton homes? ▾
Yes, rebedding stops water running under ridge caps, a common leak source in 1960s to 1990s homes. Combined with new pointing around tiles, rebedding forms part of comprehensive leak prevention. Most Bicton homes over 40 years old benefit from ridge rebedding.
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
"The roof restoration really made my home a completely new house. Besides the weather keeping the work delayed nothing else I could fault them. I got a competitive quote, no hidden cost, very professional and the work they have done was fantastic. My neighbours love their work and asked for a quote too. I highly recommend! P.S. I know that the photos seems to be totally different but I recently painted my house and the roof is just the last thing needed to be done. There are things that I needed professional."
"Great company and very reasonably priced. We were referred by our friend that had work done by the team also. Professional and good communication throughout the whole process. Highly recommend this company."
