Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Ferndale?
Rebedding means resetting ridge caps in fresh mortar, and humidity plus possum traffic accelerate mortar failure in Ferndale. When possums walk across caps or moisture cycles through mortar constantly, the bond fails and caps loosen. Heavy-duty flexible mortar is key: rigid mortar cracks under Ferndale's humidity, but flexible mortar flexes with the tile and lasts longer. Most Ferndale roofs need rebedding assessment every 2 to 3 years. If caps are loose but not leaking, rebedding prevents water from finding its way under during heavy rain. We combine rebedding with roof cleaning and repointing since we're on site already.
Possum traffic and humidity cycling weaken mortar around ridge caps and tile edges. Ferndale's persistent moisture accelerates that breakdown. A cap that's loose on the first visit might be hanging off six months later if it's on a possum highway. We rebedding ridge caps using heavy-duty flexible mortar that resists both displacement and moisture penetration. It's common on Ferndale roofs to rebedding 30 to 40 metres of ridge as part of restoration work.

Benefits of Rebedding for Ferndale 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 Ferndale
- 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 Ferndale - FAQs

How do I know if my ridge cap mortar needs rebedding? ▾
Look for loose caps that move by hand, mortar gaps, or new seepage around the ridge. Ferndale's humidity and possum activity mean you'll see mortar failure before other suburbs. Have it checked every two to three years.
What does rebedding cost? ▾
Heavy-duty flexible mortar rebedding typically runs 1,200 to 2,100 for a standard house ridge. We quote fixed prices based on roof measurement. Most Ferndale homes need at least partial rebedding during restoration.
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
"The overall experience dealing with the Roof Restorers was excellent. Ryan was very flexible in coordinating the job and dealing with the unreliable weather. Jack was very professional and explained every step of the project and kept us informed on the progress. He was always on time and was articulate in cleaning the roof, repairing areas, including the ridge caps and then restoring the paintwork. We are happy with the final result. I'm very confident in recommending this company. 👍👍👍👍👍"
"The roof restoration really made my home a completely new house. Besides the weather keeping the work delayed nothing else I could fault them. I got a competitive quote, no hidden cost, very professional and the work they have done was fantastic. My neighbours love their work and asked for a quote too. I highly recommend! P.S. I know that the photos seems to be totally different but I recently painted my house and the roof is just the last thing needed to be done. There are things that I needed professional."
