PITCHED ROOF SYSTEMS

The Different Types of Pitched Roof Coverings​

Slate Roofing​

Our skilled tradesmen specialise in all aspects of slate roofing, from major repairs to full installations on all commercial, heritage and industrial buildings. We offer expert guidance to help you choose the best slate for your project. Natural slate is exceptionally durable and often reusable, with Welsh slate being the top choice for heritage work. Spanish imports are widely used, while budget-friendly alternatives include fibre-cement or resin-based artificial slates.​

Tiled Roofing​

Clay and concrete roofing tiles come in diverse styles including traditional plain tiles requiring extensive overlap installation, and peg tiles secured with wooden pegs to battens. Modern interlocking tiles offer more efficient coverage with single-lap installation requiring fewer tiles, enabling faster installation and lower costs while accommodating reduced roof pitches​

Metal Roofing​

Metal roofing combines durability and cost-effectiveness through quick installation and low maintenance, making them ideal for a range of commercial properties where vandalism risks exist and low pitches are required. Their lightweight construction enables efficient transport and handling while providing crack-resistant performance, with protective coatings offering both durability and aesthetic appeal. ​

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you replace a pitched roof without disrupting the building’s occupants?

Yes, in many cases we are able to carry out works without any disruption. We only work on occupied buildings and carefully manage health and safety, access, and noise ensure your property stays fully operational.

Our team will develop a clear programme of works to ensure minimal impact on day-to-day operations.

Speak to a member of the team today to discuss your requirements in more detail. 

How often should a pitched roof be inspected or maintained?

We recommend having your pitched roof professionally inspected every 1–2 years, or after extreme weather events. Regular maintenance helps identify minor issues before they become costly problems.

If you have concerns about your roof, arrange a pitched roof survey with one of our experts, our team will walk you through the process. 

Do you carry out flat-to-pitched roof conversions?

Yes, we do. At Maguire Brothers, we have extensive experience in managing flat-to-pitched roof conversions for a variety of building types. These conversions are a practical solution for improving a roof’s longevity, performance, and appearance.

A flat-to-pitched roof conversion can be made more affordable and sustainable with careful planning and the right choice of materials. By selecting cost-effective yet durable materials, we can help reduce upfront costs while ensuring long-term performance.

We also prioritise sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly or recycled roofing products where suitable, reducing the environmental impact of your project. Energy efficiency can be significantly improved through the integration of high-performance insulation during the conversion, helping to lower long-term energy costs.

To further enhance the sustainability of the roof, we can incorporate additional features such as solar panels or rainwater harvesting systems.

Our experienced team ensures your conversion is carefully managed, delivering cost-effective results without compromising on quality or longevity.

What roofing materials are suitable for low-pitched roofs?

Low-pitched roofs require materials that are specifically designed to provide effective waterproofing and durability. Common options include single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, modified bitumen (felt), and certain types of metal roofing. Each material has its own benefits and suitability depending on the exact pitch of your roof and the overall design requirements.

To ensure you choose the most appropriate solution for your property, it’s always best to consult an expert.

Speak to our team today, and we’ll help you find the ideal roofing material for your low-pitched roof.

What considerations are there with pitched roof insulation?

When replacing pitched roof coverings, Building Regulations require upgraded insulation standards – typically achieved through insulation quilts in lofts, or rigid insulation boards where ceilings attach directly to rafters.

Proper ventilation of the roof void is essential to prevent condensation. While this is straightforward in lofted spaces, it becomes more complex in structures with vaulted ceilings or direct rafter-to-ceiling fixtures, such as churches.

With over 45 years experience of working on commercial pitched roofing contracts, we are confident that our team will provide a professional and comprehensive service.
