Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Bull Creek?
Ridge caps on Bull Creek tiles are bedded in sand-cement mortar that's now 40-50 years old. It cracks, crumbles, and allows water to run under the ridge tiles. Rebedding means lifting the ridge tiles, removing the failing mortar, and setting them back in fresh polymer-modified mortar that stays flexible as the roof moves. This is labour-intensive, so we usually combine it with full repointing as part of a restoration. If you're doing repairs only, selective rebedding can run from $1,500 to $3,000 depending on ridge length. Sand-cement mortar fails everywhere across Bull Creek's 1970s-1980s housing now. The difference between rebedding the ridges and full repointing (which also includes hips and valleys) is the scope. Complete repointing tackles the whole roof, while rebedding focuses on the high point. Both need professional tools and technique. Rushing the job or using incorrect mortar creates more problems than it solves.
Rebedding is the real repair on Bull Creek roofs, not just a patch. Ridge caps that are simply repointed will crack again as the roof experiences ongoing movement from sandy soil settlement. Rebedding removes the old mortar completely, resets the tile in proper polymer-modified bedding compound, and seals for another 15-20 years of protection.

Benefits of Rebedding for Bull Creek 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 Bull Creek
- 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 having my ridge repointed versus having it rebedded? ▾
Repointing just fills mortar gaps. Rebedding removes the cap completely, clears all old mortar, resets the tile in new flexible bedding compound, and re-mortars everything. On Bull Creek homes settling unevenly, repointing lasts 3-5 years. Rebedding lasts 15-20 years through the settlement cycle.
Why would ridge mortar crack again after it's been fixed if the roof is sound? ▾
Sandy soil movement under Bull Creek homes is ongoing and subtle. Rigid mortar can't flex with the roof's tiny movements. Polymer-modified bedding in a full rebedding job handles movement better and holds through the settlement cycle. Simple pointing gives way to the same stresses.
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.
