Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Cottesloe?
Rebedding is where the mortar between tiles has failed and tiles sit loose or slip. On Cottesloe's heritage homes, original mortar is lime-based, which is softer and more flexible than modern cement. We use traditional lime-based mortars to match the original, not modern concrete mixes that crack old terracotta. We typically rebed up to 30 tiles as part of full heritage restoration. It's specialist work, carefully removing old mortar without damaging 50 to 80-year-old tiles, sitting them level, and rebedding with the right mix. There's no shortcut for period-appropriate work. If your Federation home on Grant Street has slipping tiles, that's what you're addressing.
Heritage terracotta tiles in Cottesloe sit on lime-based mortar that's 50 to 80 years old and deteriorating. Rebedding means resetting tiles on fresh mortar to restore stability and water-shedding. This is essential on Federation and California Bungalow homes where salt air has degraded the original bedding. Rebedding prevents slipped tiles and major leaks. It's detailed work but much cheaper than replacing cracked or slipped tiles.

Benefits of Rebedding for Cottesloe 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 Cottesloe
- 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.

How do I know if my heritage roof needs rebedding? ▾
Look for slipped tiles, loose sections, or water stains below the roof line. Professional assessment uses satellite imagery and physical inspection to spot problem areas. If tiles shift when touched, rebedding is urgent. Most properties benefit from selective rebedding every 10 to 15 years in Cottesloe's coastal environment. Cost is around 1,500 to 3,000 dollars.
What's the difference between rebedding and repointing? ▾
Rebedding replaces the mortar under tiles. Repointing re-joints the mortar between tiles. Both are necessary on aging heritage roofs. Rebedding usually costs slightly more but prevents bigger problems. We often combine both during major restoration to fully stabilize the roof structure.
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.

"Roof Restorers Perth - Ryan - was very professional, and on time. He worked very hard, and cleaned up after himself to the delight of my husband. The results speak for themselves, and in fact, a neighbour who was passing by commented on how good the roof looked after Ryan had finished. I highly recommend him."
