Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Melville?
The sand-cement mortar holding ridge caps and bedded tiles on Melville's 1960s-1980s homes has cracked and crumbled after decades. Water works under the bedding during winter downpours and rots the timber underneath. Rebedding means replacing old mortar with flexible polymer-modified material that flexes with temperature and keeps water out. We do full rebedding as part of restoration. It stops water tracking and protects the timber structure underneath. Without rebedding, a clean and coat will only last half as long.
Rebedding means resetting tiles in fresh mortar. Melville's 1960s-80s tiles sit on sand-cement mixes that crumble after 50 plus years. Loose tiles rattle in wind and let water creep underneath. Rebedding selected tiles stops water tracking and secures gaps. We do it alongside repointing, refixing maybe 10 to 20 tiles per roof. It's cheaper than full tile replacement and extends tile life another 10 to 15 years.

Benefits of Rebedding for Melville 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 Melville
- 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 is rebedding different from repointing? ▾
Repointing fixes the mortar between ridge caps and tiles. Rebedding resets individual tiles that are loose or missing mortar underneath. Both are often needed on Melville's older roofs to stop water entry.
Can you rebed tiles without replacing them? ▾
Yes. If tiles aren't cracked, we clean underneath, remove old mortar, and reset in fresh polymer-modified mortar. Saves cost and keeps original tiles. Takes longer than replacement but preserves character on older homes.
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.
