Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Morley?

Ridge caps on Morley homes built in the 1960s and 1970s are bedded in cement-based mortar that's now brittle and crumbling. Water gets under the cap and through the tile seams, creating leaks at the roof peak. We remove the old mortar, clean the ridge tiles and valleys, then bed new ridge caps in flexible polymer-modified compound that doesn't crack in Perth's thermal cycling. Rebedding also covers bedding around roof vents, chimneys and antennae where water penetrates. It's a separate job from full repointing and costs $2,500 to $4,000 for ridge caps alone. Once done, it holds for 15 to 20 years depending on roof exposure.

Rebedding resets roof tiles in mortar on the sloping surface. This differs from repointing the ridge caps. Morley's thermal cycling and age cause tiles to shift or come loose. Tiles that rock underfoot or have visible gaps beneath them need rebedding. This is distinct work from ridge cap repointing and costs $1,500 to $3,500 typically.

Benefits of Rebedding for Morley 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 Morley

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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 resets roof tiles in mortar on the sloping roof. Repointing repairs mortar joints along ridge caps and hips at the peak. Both may be needed on older Morley roofs.

How do I know if my tiles need rebedding?

Tiles that rock or shift underfoot when accessed, visible gaps beneath tiles where mortar has crumbled, or tiles lifted at the edges. Our inspection identifies problem areas.

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.
