What Is a Pitched Roof?

A pitched roof is any roof with a slope, which is what most houses and bungalows have. The slope lets rain run off quickly into the gutters. Pitched roofs are covered with tiles or slates laid over battens and a membrane, and it is these layers that wear out over time.

More Information

Matching the Look of Your Home

When we replace a pitched roof, we try to keep the look of the house. That can mean matching the tile colour and shape, or using natural or reclaimed slate on older homes. In a conservation area there may be rules on materials, and we can help you check them.

Better Airflow in the Loft

A new pitched roof is a good chance to improve the loft. We fit a breathable membrane that lets moisture out, and we can add vents so air moves through the roof space. This helps stop condensation, which can rot timbers and cause mould.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need building regulations approval for a pitched roof replacement in Salisbury?

If more than a quarter of the roof is being replaced, building regulations usually apply. This covers things like the weight of the new covering and insulation levels. Wiltshire Council's building control team can confirm what your job needs, and we can explain the rules that apply before work starts.

Can you replace a pitched roof on a bungalow in Salisbury?

Yes. We replace pitched roofs on bungalows as well as houses and extensions. Bungalow roofs are often quicker to scaffold and strip, but they can cover a large area, so the job length depends on the size. We look at the roof and give you a clear price and timescale.

What is the best tile for a pitched roof in Salisbury?

There is no single best tile. Concrete tiles are affordable and hard wearing, clay tiles hold their colour well and suit older properties, and natural slate lasts the longest. The right choice depends on your house, your budget and any planning rules. We will talk you through the options.
