Roof Re-Bedding in Mornington
When the mortar bed under your ridge caps has failed, the caps start to move. We lift them and re-lay them on a fresh mortar bed so they sit solid again — across Mornington and the Peninsula.

When the Bed Underneath Gives Way
The ridge caps along the top and hips of your roof sit on a bed of mortar. That bed is what holds them at the right height and angle. Over the years it cracks, crumbles and washes out, and once it does the caps start to sink, tilt and shift.
Repointing over a failed bed is a patch — it doesn't last, because the problem is underneath. When the bed is gone, the caps need lifting and re-bedding properly.

We lift the loose caps, clear out the old, failed bedding, and re-lay them on a fresh mortar bed at the right height and line. Then we seal them with flexible pointing that moves with the roof.
Done that way, the caps are solid and watertight for the long term — not just until the next hot summer cracks the patch back out. Re-bedding is a standard part of every full restoration too.
