Pitched roofing services in Didcot
Much of Didcot’s housing stock features pitched roofs installed during periods of rapid development, often using concrete tiles with traditional felt and batten systems. Over time, these roofs commonly suffer from worn fixings, ageing underlay, and ridge deterioration rather than sudden failure. Our pitched roofing service in Didcot focuses on identifying these issues early and carrying out work that restores the roof’s reliability instead of relying on repeat patch repairs.
Common pitched roof problems in Didcot
Pitched roof problems in Didcot often develop gradually and may not be obvious from ground level. Many issues are linked to ageing materials, earlier repairs, or long-term exposure to wind and rain.
Slipped or broken tiles are a common issue on pitched roofs across Didcot, particularly where original fixings have weakened with age. Wind movement and natural settlement can cause tiles to shift, creating gaps that allow water to reach the underlay and roof timbers below.
Chimneys and valleys handle large volumes of water and rely on sound leadwork and correct detailing. In Didcot, leaks in these areas are often caused by deteriorating flashing or mortar failure rather than tile damage. Water can travel along rafters before appearing internally.
Many pitched roofs in Didcot still rely on original felt and timber battens that have exceeded their intended lifespan. Felt can tear or lose effectiveness, battens may rot, and nail sickness can occur where fixings corrode and lose grip, leading to widespread tile movement.
Traditional mortar-bedded ridge tiles are often one of the first areas to fail. Cracked mortar and ridge movement are common issues on roofs that have not been updated for many years. Loose ridges should be addressed promptly to prevent leaks and reduce safety risks.

Pitched roofing materials we work with
Homes across Didcot use a range 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 widely used on post-war and newer properties in Didcot. They offer consistent performance, good weather resistance, and suit many of the roof profiles found across the area.
Clay roof tiles
Clay tiles are more commonly found on older properties and add character to pitched roofs. While durable, they can become brittle with age and require careful handling during repair or replacement.
Natural slate roofing
Natural slate roofs are known for their long lifespan and traditional appearance. Repairs require experience, particularly when sourcing suitable slate to maintain the roof’s integrity and finish.
