Here are the top 10 most common questions and answers about pitched roofs:
What is a pitched roof?
A pitched roof is one that has a slope, typically constructed with two sloped sides that meet at a peak or ridge
What are the benefits of a pitched roof?
Pitched roofs offer excellent water drainage, are less likely to develop leaks, provide space for an attic or loft, and often have a longer lifespan than flat roofs.
What materials are commonly used for pitched roofs?
Common materials include asphalt shingles, metal, clay or concrete tiles, wood shakes, and slate.
How long does a pitched roof last?
The lifespan depends on the material: asphalt shingles can last 15-30 years, metal roofs 40-70 years, and slate or tile can last over 100 years with proper maintenance.
How much does it cost to install a pitched roof?
Costs vary widely based on material, size of the roof, location, and labor. Typically, it can range from £5,000 to over £25,000.
Can I convert my flat roof to a pitched roof?
Yes, it is possible to convert a flat roof to a pitched roof, but it requires structural assessment and potentially significant modifications, making it a complex and costly project.
What maintenance does a pitched roof require?
Regular inspections, cleaning gutters, removing debris, checking for damaged or missing shingles, and addressing any signs of leaks promptly.
What is the best pitch for a roof in areas with heavy snowfall?
A steeper pitch (above 30 degrees) is generally better in snowy areas as it helps prevent snow accumulation, which can lead to structural strain or water ingress.
Are there any specific building codes for pitched roofs?
Yes, building codes vary by location and often dictate aspects like minimum pitch, materials, and methods of attachment. It’s important to consult local building codes.
How do I choose the right material for my pitched roof?
Consider factors such as climate, the weight your structure can support, aesthetic preferences, and budget. Consulting with a roofing professional can also help make an informed decision.

Tom and his team were absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend highly enough. Super hard workers, friendly, on time, great communication, and delivered a perfect result. The difference between the original flat roof and the quality of the one they installed is worlds apart! I’m so pleased with the end finish. Thank you!

I am very happy with the service I got. the guys worked very quickly and cleanly – removed all waste as soon as it came off the roof. they made good of the wooden structure that was badly designed and fitted originally. then the new membrane was fitted in next to no time. not cheap but good value. the membrane is expensive but is guaranteed for 20 years! i recommend Look Sharp.
