Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Serpentine?
Possums regularly push ridge caps off trying to get into the roof, and once they're loose, the capping just gets worse. Rebedding means we pull the ridge cap off, clear out the old bedding material, and lay fresh flexible mortar that stays put even when possums push or the roof expands and contracts with temperature. We do this whenever the cap is loose or cracked. Most jobs are $400 to $1,200 depending on how much ridge you've got. Properly rebed ridge capping keeps water out and stops possums getting into the cavity, which is a real problem in the Serpentine bush.
Ridge and hip caps in Serpentine need rebedding more often than suburban homes due to thermal cycling under dense shade. Temperature swings between sun and shadow split the mortar bed. We remove old pointing, reset caps in flexible bedding compound, and repoint with material that expands and contracts with temperature changes. Rebedding is often done as part of full restoration, running $1,500 to $3,000 depending on roof complexity.

Benefits of Rebedding for Serpentine 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 Serpentine
- 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? ▾
Rebedding is removing and resetting ridge caps in new bedding compound. Repointing is just replacing the pointing around existing caps. You often need both for proper ridge repair.
How often do Serpentine ridge caps need rebedding? ▾
Every 15 to 20 years typically, or sooner if you see caps lifting or water leaking below ridges. Flexible bedding lasts longer than old cement mortar under our temperature swings.
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.
