Re-bedding and Re-pointing on Tile Roofs
Over time, the mortar that holds roof tiles in place – known as bedding – can deteriorate due to weather exposure, aging, or structural shifts. Similarly, the flexible material used for pointing, which seals the tiles and prevents water ingress, may lose its effectiveness. At VJ Roofing Services, we specialise in re-bedding and re-pointing services that restore the integrity and stability of your roof, ensuring it continues to protect your property for years to come.
Whether you’re experiencing loose tiles, cracks in the mortar, or water leaks, our expert team delivers tailored solutions that enhance both the functionality and appearance of your roof.
What is Re-bedding and Re-pointing?
- Re-bedding: This process involves removing old, deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh bedding mortar to secure tiles, ridge caps, and other roof components in place.
- Re-pointing: Once the bedding is in place, we apply a flexible, weatherproof compound called pointing to seal the joints between tiles, ridge caps, and valleys. Pointing also helps absorb structural movements caused by temperature changes and weather conditions.
Together, these services reinforce the strength of your roof, enhance its water resistance, and improve its overall stability.
Signs Your Roof Needs Re-bedding and Re-pointing
Your roof may need re-bedding and re-pointing if you notice any of the following:
- Loose or Dislodged Tiles: A clear sign that the bedding mortar has weakened.
- Cracked or Missing Mortar: Visible cracks or gaps in the mortar holding ridge caps and tiles.
- Water Leaks: Leaks inside your property, often caused by gaps in the roof structure.
- Sagging Ridge Caps: Ridge caps that appear uneven or out of place.
- Excessive Dirt or Moss: Build-up around tiles or ridge caps, which can erode mortar over time.
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, prompt action can prevent further damage and costly repairs down the line.

FAQs About Re-bedding and Re-pointing
Typically, roofs require re-bedding and re-pointing every 10–15 years, depending on weather exposure and the quality of previous work.
Yes, but only if the bedding mortar is still intact. If the bedding is cracked or deteriorated, re-bedding is essential before applying new pointing.
Most re-bedding and re-pointing projects are completed within 1–3 days, depending on the size of the roof and the extent of the repairs.
