Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Como?
Rebedding is setting the mortar under ridge caps so water doesn't get underneath. On Como's older homes, original sand-cement mortar has crumbled, leaving gaps where water sits. We remove old mortar, clean out dust, and bed tiles back down with flexible polymer-modified mortar that moves with temperature changes instead of cracking. It's detailed work, but essential on homes over 50 years old. Most selective rebedding on Como homes runs $1,500 to $3,200. It stops the slow internal ceiling damage that failing mortar allows.
Rebedding is the relaying of bedding mortar beneath roof tiles, typically the first step in any Como tile roof restoration. Pre-1970s homes have crumbled sand-cement mortar that was often mixed inconsistently on-site. After 50-70 years, the bedding no longer holds tiles securely. Modern flexible polymer-modified mortar replaces the old compound, allowing tile movement without cracking. Rebedding isn't glamorous work but it's essential, loose bedding is why tiles slip and leaks start under the surface.

Benefits of Rebedding for Como 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 Como
- 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" mean on a Como roof quote? ▾
Rebedding is relaying the mortar that sits beneath roof tiles, securing them to the roof. Pre-1970s Como homes have original sand-cement bedding that's crumbled after 50-70 years. We remove failed bedding and apply modern flexible mortar that moves with temperature changes without cracking. It's essential for tile security and watertightness.
Do all Como roofs need rebedding? ▾
Most homes from the 1950s-1970s need it. If your roof is pre-1975 and you're getting quotes for restoration, rebedding is usually necessary. Post-1980s homes may need selective rebedding at high-wear areas. We assess bedding condition during inspection and quote only what's needed. Full restoration typically includes comprehensive 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.
