Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Bicton?
Rebedding is resetting the mortar under ridge and hip caps 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 their ridge caps re-bedded. We remove the old cracked mortar, clean the caps, and re-bed them before pointing with a flexible compound that moves with seasonal expansion. This prevents water creeping under the caps and causing interior leaks. Rebedding is quoted as its own item — done alongside a restoration if you're having one, or on its own — typically $1,800 to $3,500 depending on how much ridge needs re-bedding.
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.

Local Bicton Expertise
Bicton's leafy riverside location - nestled along the Swan River with mature tree canopy and elevated humidity - creates specific roofing challenges combining moisture management with organic growth control. Humidity above the Perth average, dense tree coverage blocking sunlight, and morning dew from the water affect roofs differently than exposed coastal areas. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored roofs across Bicton, Attadale, and the Melville riverside corridor with 15+ years of team experience, specializing in moisture-resistant coatings and moss prevention for Perth's established riverside suburbs.
The result: Roofs that resist moisture-related deterioration for 15+ years, preventing the moss growth and organic buildup common in shaded riverside properties.
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 — quoted separately — is part of comprehensive leak prevention. Most Bicton homes over 40 years old benefit from ridge rebedding.
Does a rebedding job carry the leak warranty? ▾
Not by itself. The leak warranty applies only where the entire tiled roof has been restored including full repointing of all ridge capping - partial or sectional work doesn't carry it. A standalone rebed is still covered by the 12-month workmanship guarantee on the bedding and pointing we do, and we'll be clear about which applies before you commit.
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
"I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU .. this goes especially to Jack, both my husband and I are very impressed with his conduct here and the way he went about his job and then to give us a run down of what he did as we were both at work at the time. He's very knowledgeable and he was very good and friendly to us both which was nice. So thank you again for organising this and having someone like Jack to represent your company. I do hope your company look after him as he is a real gem. Our roof pointing looks awesome and we are ready for the winter months ahead. I would not hesitate in recommending your company to friends and family after such awesome service you guys provided. So many thanks ☺️"
"THESE GUYS DESERVE 6 STARS Our experience with Ryan and his team was nothing short of exceptional—truly a 6-star service. Within a day of sending our request, we received quotes for both properties, which was impressively fast. Initially, I was a bit skeptical, assuming there might be hidden costs or extra charges added once the job started, given how quick the process was. However, that was absolutely not the case. The quoted price was exactly what we paid—no surprises, no extras. UNBELIEVABLE! Ryan and his team were incredibly responsive, coordinating seamlessly with other contractors working alongside them. The crew was extremely efficient and productive throughout the projects, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Ryan and his team for any roof restoration work!"
