Re-Bedding & Re-Pointing

Revive Your Roof’s Strength, Seal, and Style with Professional Restoration That Lasts

Protect your home from leaks by investing in professional re-bedding and repointing services for your roof. This service refreshes the bedding material for your tiles and adds new pointing to secure them in place.

Doing this will help extend the life of your roof.

What Is Re-Bedding?

Re-bedding is the process of replacing the mortar layer that secures ridge caps and tiles on your roof. If your bedding is crumbling, missing, or unstable, water can seep through and cause leaks or structural damage.

Our process

Our Roof Re-Bedding Process

Remove old bedding mortar and debris

Remove all bedding that is broken, cracked, or loose. Just make sure the area is clean and safe to use.

Grind and clean
tile surfaces

We prepare the surface by grinding and brushing tiles, ensuring optimal bonding.

Apply new mortar with bedding frames

Our tradesmen use professional bedding frames for accuracy and strength.

Install new
ridge caps

Adjust or replace the ridge caps to achieve a clean and well-aligned finish that enhances the roof's appearance.

Install weep holes
in necessary ridgelines

Make sure air can flow, and water can drain properly under the ridge caps. This will help prevent moisture buildup and keep your roof system lasting longer.

What Is Re-Pointing?

Once bedding is cured, repointing strengthens the ridges further by applying a flexible pointing compound over the mortar. This seals gaps, improves aesthetics, and helps resist future movement or cracking.

Our process

Our Re-Pointing Process Includes

Grinding and cleaning the surface

This guarantees a strong bond between the pointing cement and the tile or mortar.

Application of pointing cement

It creates a watertight seal, adds flexibility, and provides a smooth, uniform appearance.

Re-installation of weep holes

This keeps air flowing and controls moisture under ridge caps.

Or, Standalone Roof Re-Pointing Service

If your bedding is still solid but your pointing is failing, we offer a standalone roof repointing solution:

  • Remove cracked or broken pointing
  • Grind collar of ridge caps and clean surface
  • Repoint with high-grade pointing cement
  • Install weep holes as needed

This is perfect for minor issues or routine roof maintenance to prevent major roof damage.
