Why Choose Us for Rebedding in East Fremantle?
Rebedding is resetting the tiles that have shifted or lost their original bedding mortar, using traditional lime-based products that match how the house was originally built. East Fremantle's Federation homes have terracotta tiles that have moved over 70 to 100 years from timber settling and the stress of salt wind, so rebedding is part of most restoration projects. We source heritage-appropriate lime mortars that flex with the timber structure rather than constraining it like modern cement would. A proper rebedding job on a heritage home takes time because we're not just resetting tiles, we're doing it in ways that preserve the construction method and materials. Combined with repointing the joints, rebedding can extend the life of original tiles by 15 to 20 years when done properly. It's one of the specialties that separates heritage restoration from standard cleaning and coating.
Heritage terracotta in East Fremantle sits on a bedding layer of lime mortar that's 70-100 years old, which crumbles from salt, age, and moisture cycling. Rebedding means carefully lifting tiles, scraping out old mortar, and resetting them on fresh lime-based mortar compatible with original construction. It's slow, precise work but essential for tiles that sit loose.

Benefits of Rebedding for East Fremantle 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 East Fremantle
- 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 rebedding and repointing? ▾
Rebedding lifts and resets tiles on fresh mortar underneath them. Repointing fills the joints between tiles. You often need both on older heritage roofs for full effectiveness.
Can you rebid individual tiles or do you need to do the whole roof? ▾
Individual tiles can be done, but if multiple areas show movement, a full roof rebedding is usually better value and more durable long-term.
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.
