Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Byford?
Ridge capping and hip lines get bedded in mortar, but Byford's extreme thermal cycling cracks that mortar and loosens the cap tiles year after year. Flexible rebedding with heat-rated compounds lets your roof expand and contract without the mortar splitting and failing. If you've got loose ridge capping or water getting in around capping edges, rebedding solves the problem by replacing old brittle mortar with material that flexes with thermal movement. Flexible rebedding costs $2,500 to $4,000 depending on roof size and how much of the capping needs redoing. This is foundation work for any tile roof restoration, because loose capping accelerates water entry and mortar failure in the lines below. Done right, it stops the cycle of damage and gives your ridge another 15-year lifespan.
Rebedding means resetting ridge and hip tiles in fresh heat-rated mortar after the old mortar cracks from thermal cycling. Byford's extreme temperature swings crack and loosen original builder-grade mortar within 10-15 years. Gaps appear at ridge lines where water infiltrates. Professional rebedding uses flexible compounds that accommodate thermal movement without cracking. Most Byford properties showing loose ridge caps benefit from rebedding every 15-20 years as part of routine maintenance.

Benefits of Rebedding for Byford 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 Byford
- 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 does rebedding actually do and why does Byford's heat make it necessary? ▾
Rebedding removes cracked mortar and resets ridge tiles in fresh, flexible material. Thermal cycling pushes and pulls Byford roofs constantly, so rigid old mortar cracks within 10-15 years. New mortar stays flexible and prevents water entry at ridge lines.
Can you rebid individual loose tiles or does the whole ridge need doing? ▾
We usually rebid the entire ridge line when cracks appear, as the thermal stress is affecting all the mortar. Spot repairs on one or two tiles often fail because adjacent mortar continues moving. Full rebidding costs $2,500-4,000 and prevents problems spreading.
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
"We are very satisfied with the restoration work completed on our tiled roof. Ryan spent the time to look at our roof properly and provide a reasonable quote, along with confidence in the workmanship. The job was done on time, and left in a clean state. The roof difference is brilliant. Highly recommend Ryan and his team they are so professional and helpful."
"I have recently had a full roof restoration completed by this company and I can't recommend them highly enough. The job entailed cleaning the old terracotta coloured clay tiles, replacing damaged ones (I didn't have spares so extras were provided), fixing/replacing ridge capping etc. then sealing and painting to a gorgeous charcoal colour. All for a VERY reasonable price. I am always nervous about engaging tradies for major projects as I have not had much luck in the past. Ryan and Jack at Roof Restorers Perth have completely restored my faith that there are great companies and tradespeople out there. Ryan's communication was spot on, responding promptly to all my emails and questions. Jack, who completed the work over two days, was a delight and went above and beyond with customer service and communication, making sure I was happy with the clean up on both days and also ensuring my neighbours were happy. Nothing was too much trouble for him and I now have a functioning tiled roof that looks incredible."
