Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Mount Lawley?

Rebedding is securing tiles back into their mortar bed when they've lifted or shifted. On old Federation homes, roof movement, settling, or just time means tiles work loose. You might see one or two tiles slightly proud of the others, or you'll spot water running where it shouldn't because a tile's lifted enough to let water underneath. We hand-bed tiles back using a flexible compound that moves with the roof, not hard brittle mortar that cracks again. It's detail work, especially on heritage properties where the original bed mix matters. We'll inspect the whole roof while we're there and flag any others that are starting to move before they become a leak.

Federation homes throughout Mount Lawley have decorative ridge tiles and finials that are set in mortar. Over a century, that mortar cracks and shrinks, allowing water to penetrate below the tiles. Rebedding replaces the failed mortar using colour-matched flexible compound that moves with temperature changes. This keeps water out and maintains the heritage look.

Benefits of Rebedding for Mount Lawley 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 Mount Lawley

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.

Is rebedding the same as repointing? ▾

They're related but slightly different. Rebedding replaces mortar under ridge tiles, while repointing is the grout around them. Both use colour-matched flexible compound and are part of heritage maintenance.

Why does ridge tile mortar fail in old Mount Lawley homes? ▾

Original mortar was rigid cement that cracks badly in Perth's hot, cold, wet, dry cycles. Modern flexible compound moves with the tiles as they expand and contract, lasting much longer without fracturing.

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.
