Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Maylands?
Rebedding is resetting tiles that have shifted or loosened. On Maylands' heritage homes with complex hip and valley work, loose tiles on hips and ridges are common as the old mortar settles and cracks. Loose tiles let water find gaps underneath, and that's where leaks start. We rebed tiles by resetting them into fresh mortar, pressing them home so they sit tight again. On heritage roofs in the Eighth Avenue precinct, this is often done as part of a full restoration, fixing the structural issues that made them shift in the first place. It's less expensive than replacing tiles but essential for roofs that have moved.
Maylands' decorative ridge caps and hip tiles sit in mortar that deteriorates over 40-60 years, especially under riverside humidity. We use flexible polymer compound rather than rigid cement mortar, which cracks as tiles shift with temperature changes. Rebedding is often part of full repointing work on heritage roofs, keeping the decorative ridge detailing secure and watertight.

Benefits of Rebedding for Maylands 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 Maylands
- 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 on a roof? ▾
Rebedding lifts and resets tiles in fresh mortar if they're loose. Repointing rakes out and refills the joints between tiles. Both happen on heritage restorations. We use flexible polymer compound that moves with the tiles rather than rigid cement that cracks in temperature shifts.
Do the decorative ridge caps on 1940s Maylands bungalows need special rebedding? ▾
Yes. Ornamental ridge finials on Eighth Avenue heritage homes are cherished features. We handle them carefully, using colour-matched compound to preserve their character while ensuring they're watertight. It's skilled work that adds to the overall restoration cost.
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.
