Choosing tiles for a shallow roof
For a Moortown property with roof sections at different pitches, one product may not suit every part. A low-pitched extension can behave differently from the main roof above it. Describe any changes in roof height or material and whether the leak occurs only during prolonged or wind-driven rain.
Finding the cause
Ask for the pitch and the selected covering’s requirements to be checked before a replacement is specified. The underlay, overlap, fixings and junctions should work as a system. Reusing a familiar tile shape does not establish that it is appropriate for a shallow slope.
Planning your roofing work
Mention garages, carports and any part of the roof that cannot be accessed from the ground around the house. A low roof still needs a safe working arrangement.
What belongs in your quote
A clear quote sets out the materials, access and waste removal, as well as the repair itself. It should also explain what happens if opening the roof reveals further damage, so you know how any extra work will be agreed.
Use the roofing quotation checklist or understand the main cost factors.
