Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Swan View?
Ridge and hip caps on Swan View's 1970s and 1980s homes sit on mortar that's been cracking and separating for decades. Thermal cycling stress from 38 to 42 degree summer days and overnight drops of 15 to 18 degrees forces concrete and mortar to expand and contract constantly. We remove failed mortar, re-point with flexible compound that handles this thermal movement, and re-bed caps so water runs off rather than seeping down under tiles. Rebedding is usually part of a full roof restoration, but homes with localized cap failure might only need this work. Loose or missing caps are a bushfire risk and a water entry point, so we prioritize them. Most properties get comprehensive re-bedding of both ridge and hips as part of the 8,500 to 11,500 dollar single-storey tile restoration.
Ridge and hip cap rebedding is one of the most common Swan View repairs. Original mortar from 1970s-1980s builds has failed almost entirely by now, with caps loose or partially displaced. Thermal cycling from 38-degree summer days to overnight drops of 15 to 18 degrees accelerates deterioration. We remove failed mortar, clean cap surfaces, and reset with flexible modern compound built to expand and contract without cracking. Most properties need 40 to 60 linear metres of rebedding.

Benefits of Rebedding for Swan View 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 Swan View
- 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.
Rebedding in Swan View - FAQs
Do you provide rebedding in Swan View? ▾

How much does it cost to rebedding the ridge caps on my Swan View home? ▾
Typically $2,500 to $4,500 depending on roof size and cap condition. A single-storey home might need 40 to 60 metres of rebedding. Steep-terrain homes and two-storey properties run higher. We include replacement of any cracked or broken caps in the price. The flexible compound we use handles thermal cycling better than original rigid mortar.
Is loose ridge capping urgent to fix? ▾
Yes. Water enters underneath loose caps and saturates the timber framing inside your roof space. You won't see leaking immediately, but rot develops silently for months. We recommend fixing loose caps within a month of noticing movement. Emergency rebedding runs $500 to $800 to seal the gap if full rebedding isn't budgeted yet.
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.
