What is Rebedding
Rebedding is the initial step where a mortar mix is applied to set the roof tiles or ridge caps firmly in place.
This process maintains the alignment and positioning of tiles, preventing displacement due to wind or rain.
It’s the process of removing the aged cement mortar beneath ridge tiles and repositioning and securing the adjoining ridge caps, ensuring they firmly anchor the roof tiles.
What is Pointing
Pointing (also known as repointing), follows rebedding. It involves the application of a flexible, weatherproof compound over the rebedding mortar. This step seals the joints between tiles, enhancing the roof’s ability to resist water and prevent leaks. This stops moisture intrusion and prevents mould and decay.
Together, rebedding and pointing form an essential duo.

Local Insight:
St Ives
St Ives is characterised by large residential properties on leafy blocks, many of which directly interface with the dense bushland of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.
The substantial tree canopy sheds a constant, heavy load of bark and leaf litter, making vigilant gutter and valley cleaning essential to prevent blockages and subsequent water damage.
Many homes feature sprawling, complex roof structures on sloping land, which complicates effective stormwater dispersal and places significant stress on flashings and drainage systems.
These shaded conditions created by the tree cover also accelerate the growth of moss and lichen, which can degrade tile surfaces and require professional treatment to maintain the roof’s integrity.
