Pitched roofing services in Abingdon

Abingdon features a broad mix of property types, from older homes with traditional tiled or slate roofs to later developments built with concrete tiles and modern ridge systems. Many pitched roofs in the area show gradual wear rather than obvious failure, often linked to ageing felt, tired battens, or previous repairs that were never fully resolved. Our pitched roofing service in Abingdon focuses on identifying these underlying issues and putting them right properly.

Common pitched roof problems in Abingdon

Roofing issues in Abingdon often develop slowly and may not be visible from ground level. Problems are commonly caused by ageing materials, weather exposure, and long-term movement within the roof structure.

Slipped or broken roof tiles

Slipped or cracked tiles are frequently found on pitched roofs around Abingdon, particularly on older properties where original fixings have weakened. Over time, wind movement and settlement can cause tiles to shift, allowing water to reach the underlay and roof timbers beneath.

Leaks around chimneys and valleys

Chimneys and valleys rely on sound leadwork and correct detailing to keep water out. In Abingdon, leaks in these areas are often caused by deteriorating flashing or mortar rather than tile failure. Water can travel along rafters before appearing inside the property, making careful inspection essential.

Worn felt, battens, and nail sickness

Many older pitched roofs in Abingdon still rely on original felt and timber battens that have exceeded their intended lifespan. Felt can tear or become brittle, battens may rot, and nail sickness can occur where fixings corrode and lose grip, leading to widespread tile movement.

Loose or failing ridge tiles

Traditional mortar-bedded ridge tiles often deteriorate before the rest of the roof. Cracked mortar and ridge movement are common issues on roofs that have not been updated for many years. Loose ridges should be repaired promptly to avoid leaks and potential safety risks.

Pitched roofing materials we work with

Homes across Abingdon use a variety of pitched roofing materials depending on age and development style. Using the correct materials and installation methods is key to maintaining durability and appearance.

Concrete roof tiles

Concrete tiles are commonly used on newer developments and extensions around Abingdon. They offer consistent performance and good resistance to the elements, making them suitable for many pitched roofs.

Clay roof tiles

Clay tiles are often found on older and character properties. While durable, they can become brittle with age, requiring careful handling and accurate replacement during repairs.

Natural slate roofing

Natural slate roofs are valued for their long lifespan and traditional appearance. Repairs require experience, particularly when sourcing compatible slate to maintain the roof’s integrity and finish.

How Our Pitched Roofing Process Works?
Initial Inspection & Assessment

We start by inspecting your pitched roof to understand the condition of the tiles, fixings, and underlying structure. This allows us to identify the root cause of any issues, not just the visible symptoms.

Clear Advice & Fixed Quotation

Once the inspection is complete, we explain what we’ve found and outline the most appropriate solution, whether that’s a repair or more extensive work. You’ll receive a clear quotation with no pressure and no unnecessary extras.

Scheduled Roofing Work

If you’re happy to proceed, we arrange the work at a suitable time and carry it out safely and efficiently. Our team works carefully to minimise disruption while ensuring the job is completed properly.

Final Checks & Ongoing Protection

Once the work is completed, we carry out final checks to ensure everything is secure and performing as it should. All pitched roofing work is completed to a high standard and backed by appropriate guarantees for peace of mind.

Removal of Chimney stack, replacement of roof underlay, guttering and flat roof repair. - Mitchell from Alliance Roofing & Building was the only builder, of many that I had contacted, that climbed a ladder to inspect my flat-roof and to climb into my loft-space to inspect the main roof from the inside. After an extensive review of my property and discussing my options, he emailed me his quotation on the same day. Booking in dates for Alliance & Roofing to commence work was quick and effortless. They arrived on time, completed the work as planned to a professional standard. Provided Photos of work carried out at all stages. I highly recommend Alliance Roofing & Building.
