Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Rivervale?
When tiles shift or gaps open between tiles and bedding mortar, water seeps underneath instead of running off. We lift affected tiles, clear out old bedding material, and reset with modern mortar that flexes without cracking. This is common on 1950s-1970s roofs where vibration, settling, or roof movement has opened gaps over decades. Rebedding keeps water on top of tiles instead of trapped underneath, where it causes hidden damage and rot. It's often bundled with repointing ridge caps during full restoration work.
Rivervale's oldest homes, especially terracotta-roofed cottages from the 1950s, have beds of mortar holding tiles in place that have completely failed. River humidity and decades of expansion-contraction cycles broke the bond. Tiles shift and slide in wind. Rebedding is different to repointing (ridge caps) but equally critical on older homes. It's labour-intensive work that stops tiles moving and prevents water entry.

Benefits of Rebedding for Rivervale 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 Rivervale
- 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 Rivervale roof? ▾
Rebedding fixes mortar beds under roof tiles to stop them moving. Repointing is ridge cap mortar at the peak. Older 1950s-1960s homes often need both. We assess tile condition and the mortar state during restoration.
How do I know if my tiles need rebedding? ▾
If you see tiles that have slipped, or they move when wind gusts, rebedding is needed. Walking a Rivervale roof you'll feel loose tiles. It's usually combined with full restoration work and included in the $8,200-$11,000 estimate for single-storey tile 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
"Roof Restorers Perth - Ryan - was very professional, and on time. He worked very hard, and cleaned up after himself to the delight of my husband. The results speak for themselves, and in fact, a neighbour who was passing by commented on how good the roof looked after Ryan had finished. I highly recommend him."
"Ryan was very responsive to all my messages, came out and gave us a quote to have a full roof restoration. They showed up on time every day, kept me in the loop with what they were doing and what was to come the next day. They cleaned up the mess and on top of all that, that roof looks fantastic! Looks brand new ! I would highly recommend these guys. Thanks so much for all your hard work and a fantastic job."
