Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Claremont?
Heritage tile beds crack and crumble after 80 years of Claremont's morning dew and river salt breeze. Rebedding means lifting tiles, scraping out the old mortar, and resetting them on fresh lime-based mix that matches the original. It's slow work because every tile is different and some are fragile. We hand-check each one and replace any that are too far gone. Standard job on a single storey costs $10,000 to $14,500.
Heritage terracotta tiles in Claremont are 60 to 90 years old, and original lime-based mortars holding them in place deteriorate faster than modern compounds. Every 5 to 7 years, you might need selective rebedding where tiles have shifted slightly. We source matching lime-based mortars that suit heritage tiles, and hand-work each tile. It's slower than modern methods but essential for properties worth millions.

Local Claremont Expertise
Claremont's prestigious riverfront position - where heritage homes overlook the Swan River - creates unique roofing requirements combining coastal influence with heritage preservation needs. Humidity above the Perth average, morning dew from the water, and salt-carried inland by river breezes affect roofs differently than direct ocean exposure. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored roofs across Claremont, from heritage-listed properties to modern riverfront estates with 15+ years of team experience, specializing in techniques that preserve character while providing lasting protection.
The result: Roofs that maintain Claremont's heritage aesthetic while withstanding riverfront conditions for 15+ years, protecting property values in one of Perth's most prestigious postcodes.
Benefits of Rebedding for Claremont 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 Claremont
- 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.
Rebedding in Claremont - FAQs

What's the difference between rebedding and repointing? ▾
Rebedding is resetting individual tiles in mortar where they've slipped. Repointing is refreshing the mortar lines between tiles. Heritage homes often need both every 5-7 years. Costs run 1500 to 3000 for selective repointing work.
Do you use the same mortar as the original home? ▾
Yes, on heritage properties. Original homes used lime-based mortars that allow tiles to shift slightly with movement and humidity changes. Modern cement mortars are too rigid for 80 plus year old terracotta and cause cracking.
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!"
