Rebedding in Shelley

Rebedding is removing old sand-cement mortar from ridge caps and resetting them with modern flexible compound that moves with the roof structure. Shelley's original mortar from the 1960s-1970s is powder now, crumbled by decades of moisture and the clay soil movement beneath the house. A single winter storm can dislodge loose ridge caps and send water straight into your ceiling. We strip back to the cap, treat the surface, and reset using compounds rated for high-humidity movement. It's labour-intensive but it stops the caps shifting in storms and water getting in.

Most Shelley homes built in the 1960s and 1970s have ridge caps bedded in sand-cement mortar, which crumbles after 50-60+ years in high humidity. We remove old mortar and rebed ridge caps with flexible polymer-modified compound rated for high-moisture environments. Rebedding alone often costs less than full restoration and stops water seeping under ridge caps immediately.

Local Shelley Expertise

Shelley occupies a unique peninsula position 10km south of Perth CBD, bordered by the Canning River on two sides - to the north and east. This near-island geography creates one of the highest-humidity residential environments in metropolitan Perth, with moisture from the river influencing every street in the suburb. Built predominantly during the 1960s and 1970s - Shelley split from Riverton as its own suburb in the mid-1960s as the post-war growth wave reached the peninsula - Shelley's homes feature the concrete tile and early Colorbond roofing systems typical of that era, now 50-60+ years old and approaching or past their expected service life. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored hundreds of roofs across Shelley, Rossmoyne, and Riverton with 15+ years of team experience, with specialised knowledge of the moisture-related challenges unique to this riverside peninsula.

The result: Restored roofs engineered specifically for Shelley's high-humidity environment - Dulux Acratex coatings with anti-fungal properties that resist the aggressive moss and lichen growth driven by Canning River moisture.
