Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Scarborough?
Rebedding is resetting all the ridge caps, hip caps, and tile beds using fresh bedding compound. On Scarborough's coastal roofs, the old bedding cracks and fails because the salt, wind, and temperature swings put constant stress on everything. When the bedding goes, tiles lift, water gets in underneath, and your roof deteriorates fast. We remove the old bedding compound, clean the base properly, and install marine-grade flexible bedding that can move with the roof without cracking. On the beachfront properties, we use systems rated for direct salt spray. This job usually costs 3000 to 5000 dollars and stops a lot of the small leaks and tile movement that come with Scarborough's wind exposure.
Rebedding is when we lift ridge caps or tiles, remove old crumbling mortar, and set them back down with marine-grade flexible compound. Scarborough's wind and salt stress the bedding fast. We see wind-lifted caps regularly after coastal storms here. Proper rebedding with flexible mortar stops them lifting again.

Local Scarborough Expertise
Scarborough's iconic beachfront location - with properties as close as 100m from the surf - creates intense roofing challenges. Direct salt spray from onshore winds, humidity above the Perth average, and the area's transformation with modern developments demand both heritage-sensitive and contemporary roofing solutions. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored hundreds of roofs across Scarborough, Doubleview, and Trigg with 15+ years of team experience, using marine-grade systems proven in Perth's northern coastal corridor.
The result: Roofs that withstand Scarborough's beachfront exposure while complementing both heritage character homes and modern architectural designs.

Benefits of Rebedding for Scarborough 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 Scarborough
- 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 my Scarborough roof? ▾
Rebedding is about the bedding mortar under ridge caps and tiles. Repointing is the grout between roof sections. Both crack in salt spray, but rebedding is more critical for wind resistance. We often do both at the same time on coastal roofs.
How long does rebedding last in Scarborough conditions? ▾
Properly done with marine-grade mortar, typically 10 to 15 years. Without proper materials, it can fail within 3 to 4 years. Salt and flexing from wind stress the mortar, so using the right compound matters hugely.
Does a rebedding job carry the leak warranty? ▾
Not by itself. The leak warranty applies only where the entire tiled roof has been restored including full repointing of all ridge capping - partial or sectional work doesn't carry it. A standalone rebed is still covered by the 12-month workmanship guarantee on the bedding and pointing we do, and we'll be clear about which applies before you commit.
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.
