Why Choose Us for Rebedding in South Perth?
Heritage terracotta tiles from the 1920s to 1940s were set in lime mortar that's often loose or powdery now, especially on homes that haven't been touched for 30 or 40 years. Loose bedding means tiles shift with wind and heat, opening gaps where water gets in. Rebedding is resetting those tiles properly, but using lime-compatible mortar instead of modern cement that cracks and traps water. This work goes hand in hand with repointing on heritage properties. We assess how much bedding has failed during inspection and separate out the tiles that absolutely need attention from ones that can wait. For a South Perth federation home, rebedding the worst sections typically costs $1,500 to $3,200, and it stops the leaks that damaged plaster ceilings.
Tiles from heritage homes built in the 1920s-1960s sit in lime mortar that's slowly failing after 70 to 100 years of river humidity. When tiles shift or mortar crumbles, rebedding resets them in new mortar compatible with original materials. Heritage homes need lime-based mortar, not cement, to allow the structure to breathe. We assess tiles for loose bedding during inspection and rebед where necessary to prevent water entry and tile slip.

Benefits of Rebedding for South Perth 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 South Perth
- 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 resets tiles in fresh mortar beds where they sit on the roof. Repointing fills the joints between tiles. Old South Perth homes often need both to stop water leaks and prevent tiles slipping.
How do I know if my heritage tiles need rebedding? ▾
If you see tiles that have shifted, or if mortar crumbles when you gently tap it, those areas need attention. Heritage homes from the 1920s-1960s develop loose bedding as mortar ages over 60 to 100 years. Professional inspection identifies what needs rebedding.
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
"Carlo Poli gave Roof Restorers Perth 5 stars."
"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."
