We're experts at rebedding your roof tiles, a crucial service that extends your roof's lifespan and prevents costly water damage. When the original bedding mortar deteriorates over time, it can lead to loose tiles, leaks, and potential safety hazards. Here is our process for rebedding roofs.
Initial Inspection
Remove all ridge caps from the affected roof area. Inspect each tile and ridge cap for damage, cracks, or wear. Document any tiles that need replacement before proceeding with the rebedding process.
Rebedding Application
Apply new mortar bedding along the ridge line in consistent amounts. Position each tile carefully into the fresh mortar, maintaining proper alignment with adjacent tiles. Ensure uniform spacing between tiles for optimal water drainage.
Ridge Cap Installation
Place ridge caps onto the new bedding, pressing firmly to achieve proper adhesion. Check that each cap overlaps correctly with neighbouring pieces. Maintain even spacing and alignment throughout the ridge line.
Pointing and Finishing
Apply flexible pointing compound to seal gaps between ridge caps. Smooth the pointing to create a weather-tight seal. Remove excess material and ensure clean edges along each ridge cap.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof rebedding
What is rebedding and why do we need it?
Rebedding is the process of removing old, deteriorated bedding mortar beneath roof tiles and replacing it with new mortar. We perform this service because, over time, the original bedding can crack, erode, or become loose, which can lead to leaks and tiles falling out of place.
How do we know if our roof needs rebedding?
You'll notice signs like crumbling mortar, loose or rattling tiles, water leaks, or visible gaps between tiles. If your roof is 15-20 years old or hasn't had maintenance in a while, we recommend having us perform a free inspection to assess its condition.
How long does a rebedding job take?
Most residential rebedding jobs take 1-2 days, depending on your roof's size and condition. We'll give you a specific timeframe during our initial inspection. Don't worry - we'll protect your property throughout the process and clean up thoroughly when we're done.
Will you need to remove all our roof tiles during rebedding?
We typically remove tiles in sections rather than all at once. This approach helps protect your home from unexpected weather and allows us to work methodically. We'll carefully stack and inspect each tile, replacing any damaged ones if needed.
What's the difference between rebedding and repointing?
While we often perform these services together, they're different processes. Rebedding involves replacing the thick mortar bed that tiles sit on, while repointing deals with the exposed ridgecap mortar visible on your roof's peaks. For the best results, we recommend doing both when needed.
