Roof rebedding is essential for keeping your roof secure, weatherproof, and looking its best.

Our expert team provides high-quality rebedding services that strengthen your roof, improve its appearance, and extend its lifespan. Whether your ridge caps are shifting, cracking, or showing signs of age, we deliver a long-lasting solution you can trust.
Roof rebedding involves removing old, worn-out mortar beneath your ridge caps and replacing it with fresh, durable bedding mortar. This process ensures your ridge caps sit securely and maintain their proper alignment. Once the new bedding is installed, a flexible pointing compound is applied to seal and protect the ridge line, preventing future movement and leaks.
Roof rebedding is the process of removing old, cracked mortar and re-setting ridge caps using fresh bedding material to secure them firmly to your roof. Over time, weather exposure causes the original bedding to deteriorate, leading to loose ridge tiles and potential roof leaks. Rebedding restores structural integrity and is essential for preventing water damage and extending the lifespan of your roof.
Common signs your roof needs rebedding include cracked or crumbling mortar, loose or displaced ridge caps, visible gaps under ridge tiles, and water leaks inside your home. If your roof is over 15–20 years old, chances are the bedding has weakened and rebedding is required to avoid more costly repairs.
Roof rebedding involves replacing the mortar that holds ridge caps in place, while roof repointing applies a flexible pointing compound over the top to seal and weatherproof the ridge line. Rebedding is required when the original mortar has failed, whereas repointing alone is only suitable if the bedding is still structurally sound.
A professionally completed roof rebedding job can last 20–30 years, depending on weather conditions and roof maintenance. When combined with flexible roof repointing, rebedding provides long-term protection against cracking, movement, and leaks—making it a cost-effective roof restoration solution.
The cost of roof rebedding depends on roof size, access, and the number of ridge caps. On average, roof rebedding in Australia ranges from $1,500 to $4,000. Investing in rebedding early helps prevent internal damage and avoids the much higher cost of full roof replacements.
