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:
Removing all old, failed bedding
Cleaning the tile surface
Applying fresh, high‑strength bedding mortar
Re‑setting the ridge caps perfectly straight
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.
