What Is Pitched Roofing?
A pitched roof is any roof with a slope, rather than a flat surface – the traditional roof shape found on most houses. Pitched roofs shed rainwater naturally and, when properly installed and maintained, provide long-lasting, reliable weatherproofing for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a pitched roof last?
A well-installed pitched roof can last for decades, depending on the materials used and how well it’s maintained. Slate roofs are known for their long lifespan, while quality tile roofing also offers many years of reliable protection. New roofs and re-roofs are backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee, and repairs carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What’s the difference between slate and tile roofing?
Slate is a natural stone material known for its durability and traditional appearance, while tiles (concrete or clay) offer a wide range of styles and colours at a range of price points. We’ll help you choose the right option for your property, budget and the look you’re after.
Do you repair pitched roofs or only install new ones?
Both. We carry out pitched roof repairs, from replacing damaged or slipped slates and tiles to fixing leaks, as well as complete re-roofs and new roof installations.
Do I need a full re-roof, or can my existing roof be repaired?
Not always. If your existing roof has a localised problem, a repair may be all that’s needed. If the roof covering has reached the end of its life or there’s more widespread damage, a full re-roof may be the better long-term option. We’ll inspect your roof and give you an honest recommendation either way.
Do you offer a guarantee on pitched roofing work?
Yes. New roof installations and full re-roofs are covered by our 10-year workmanship guarantee. Roof repairs carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee, though very minor patch repairs may not carry a formal guarantee where the underlying roof structure is already compromised.
How much does pitched roofing cost?
The cost depends on factors such as the size and pitch of the roof, the materials chosen, accessibility and the condition of the existing roof. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you can get an accurate price for your specific property.
