Types of Pitched Roofs we work on

Gable Roofs

Simple gable roofs feature two sloping sides meeting at a ridge. This common design suits most Surrey properties and provides excellent weather protection with straightforward construction

Hip Roofs

Hip roofs slope on all four sides, common on Victorian and Edwardian properties throughout Surrey. The hip design provides additional strength and a distinctive appearance..

Mansard Roofs

Mansard roofs feature two slopes on each side - a steep lower slope and shallower upper slope. Common on period properties, mansards create additional living space in roof areas.

Dutch Gable & Gablet Roofs

These variations combine hip and gable features, creating interesting rooflines while maintaining structural benefits..

Complex Roof Designs

Many properties in Surrey feature valleys, dormers, multiple sections, and complex junctions. We handle all pitched roof complexities.

Concrete Tiles

Modern concrete tiles provide durable, cost-effective pitched roofing. Available in many colours and profiles, concrete tiles suit most properties. Interlocking designs ensure weathertightness. We install tiles from manufacturers like Marley, Redland, and Sandtoft.

Pitched Roof Materials

Clay Tiles

Traditional clay tiles offer superior aesthetics and longevity. Hand-made clay tiles suit period properties, while modern clay tiles provide traditional appearance with improved performance..

Welsh slate and Spanish slate provide premium pitched roofing with exceptional durability. Slate roofs can last 80-100+ years when properly installed and maintained.

Natural Slate
Artificial Slate

Modern artificial slates replicate natural slate appearance at lower cost. Suitable for many applications, particularly where weight considerations matter.

New Pitched Roof Installation

We install pitched roofs on:

● New build properties

● Extensions

● Complete re-roofs

● Garage and outbuilding projects

Design Considerations

Pitched roof design affects:

● Weather performance

● Interior space

● Building character

● Planning requirements

We advise on appropriate designs for your project.

Roof Structure

Proper roof structure is fundamental. We work with roof trusses, traditional cut roofs, and all common construction methods, ensuring compliance with building regulations.

Insulation

Modern pitched roofs incorporate significant insulation meeting current U-value requirements. We install insulation between and under rafters as appropriate.

Ventilation

Adequate ventilation prevents condensation problems. We incorporate proper ventilation in all pitched roof installations.

Pitched Roof Repairs

We repair all types of pitched roofs. Common repairs include:

Tile and Slate Replacement

Missing, broken, or slipped tiles need prompt replacement. We carry common tiles and can source specialist materials for period properties.

Valley Repairs

Valleys channel water and take significant abuse. We repair or replace lead, GRP, and tiled valleys as needed.

Ridge and Hip Repairs

Loose ridges and hips are common on older roofs. We re-bed using proper techniques and materials.

Flashing Repairs

Flashings around chimneys, walls, and roof junctions need regular attention. We repair or replace failed flashings using lead or appropriate modern materials.

See our roof repairs page [/services/roof-repairs.html] for detailed repair information.

Re-Roofing Pitched Roofs

Complete re-roofing makes sense when:

● Multiple repairs are needed

● Roof covering has reached end of life

● Felt underlay has deteriorated

● You're adding insulation

What Re-Roofing Involves

● Remove existing roof covering

● Inspect and repair roof timbers

● Install modern breathable membrane

● Fit new battens

● Install new tiles or slates

● Replace all leadwork

● Renew ridges and hips

See our new roofs page [/services/new-roofs.html] for comprehensive re-roofing information.

Pitched Roof Features

Roof Windows

Roof windows bring light into roof spaces. We install Velux windows and other roof lights in pitched roofs, either during new installation or as additions to existing roofs.

Dormers

Dormer windows increase usable roof space. We install dormers on new builds and add dormers to existing properties where planning permits.

Solar Panels

Planning to add solar panels? We advise on roof suitability and can strengthen roofs where needed to support panel weight.

Planning and Regulations

Planning Permission

Most pitched roof work doesn't need planning permission if you're not changing the structure significantly. Listed buildings and conservation areas have additional restrictions.

Building Regulations

New pitched roofs and complete re-roofs need Building Control approval. We ensure compliance and can arrange inspections.

Party Wall Considerations

Work on semi-detached or terraced properties may need Party Wall agreements. We advise on requirements.

Pitched Roof Maintenance

Regular maintenance extends pitched roof life:

● Replace damaged tiles promptly

● Check and maintain flashings

● Keep gutters clear

● Monitor for moss growth

● Professional inspection every 2-3 years

Small issues caught early prevent expensive problems.

Versatility

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What pitch angle do I need?

A: Minimum pitch depends on roof covering. Tiles typically need 15-22.5 degrees minimum. Slate can go lower. We advise on appropriate pitch for your chosen materials.

Q: Can you change my roof pitch?

A: Yes, though this involves significant structural work and needs planning permission and Building Control. We can advise on feasibility and costs.

Q: How long does a pitched roof last?

A: Concrete tile roofs last 50-60 years. Slate lasts 80-100+ years. Proper installation and maintenance maximize lifespan.

Q: Can you match existing tiles for an extension?

A: Usually yes. We source matching tiles or suitable alternatives. Some older tiles are hard to match exactly - we find the closest available match.

Q: Do pitched roofs need ventilation?

A: Yes, proper ventilation prevents condensation. We incorporate adequate ventilation in all pitched roof work.

Q: What's better - tiles or slates?

A: Both are excellent. Slate lasts longer but costs more. Tiles are more economical and available in more colours. Choice depends on your property, budget, and preferences.
