Daniel Townsend Roof Tiling

Bedding & Re‑Bedding Specialist Noosa, Gympie & The Sunshine Coast

Your ridge caps rely on two key layers to stay secure: bedding (the base layer) and pointing (the flexible top layer). When the bedding underneath begins to crack, separate, or collapse, the ridge caps lose their support and no amount of repointing will hold. Loose ridge caps and failing bedding can lead to leaks, storm damage, and costly repairs

That’s why proper re‑bedding is so important.

What Is Roof Bedding?

Bedding is the solid mortar base that your ridge caps sit on. It:

  • holds the ridge caps in place

  • creates the shape and support for pointing

  • keeps the roof structurally secure

Over time, bedding can crack, crumble, or detach from the tiles especially on older roofs or after storms.

When bedding fails, the ridge caps become loose, unstable, and unsafe.

 

What Is Re‑Bedding?

Re‑bedding is the process of:

  1. Removing all old, failed bedding

  2. Cleaning the tile surface

  3. Applying fresh, high‑strength bedding mortar

  4. Re‑setting the ridge caps perfectly straight

  5. Finishing with flexible pointing for a watertight seal

Re‑bedding restores the structural support your ridge caps need to stay secure for years.

 

Signs Your Roof Needs Re‑Bedding

Homeowners often notice:

  • Loose or wobbly ridge caps

  • Large cracks in the bedding

  • Hollow or missing sections of mortar

  • Ridge caps lifting after storms

  • Pointing cracking repeatedly

  • Water entering near ridge lines

If the bedding is failing, repointing alone won’t fix the problem the ridge caps need a new foundation.

FAQ – Bedding & Re‑Bedding

Do I need re‑bedding or just repointing?

Daniel will check both. If the bedding is still solid, repointing may be enough. If the bedding has failed, re‑bedding is essential.

How long does re‑bedding last?

When done properly, bedding should last many years. Poor‑quality bedding can fail quickly, especially after storms.

Will the new pointing match my roof?

Daniel colour‑matches the pointing so the finish blends seamlessly with your tiles.

Is re‑bedding messy?

We work cleanly and carefully, removing all old mortar and leaving the roof tidy.
