Pitched roofing services in Farnborough
Much of Farnborough’s housing stock was built during the post-war period, with pitched roofs typically constructed using concrete tiles and traditional felt and batten systems. Many of these roofs are now showing signs of age rather than sudden failure, including worn underlay, tired fixings, and ridge deterioration. Our pitched roofing service in Farnborough focuses on identifying these issues early and carrying out work that restores the roof’s reliability long term.
Common pitched roof problems in Farnborough
Pitched roof problems in Farnborough often develop slowly and are not always obvious from ground level. Many issues are linked to ageing materials, long-term weather exposure, and repairs that were suitable at the time but no longer hold up.
Slipped or cracked tiles are a frequent issue on pitched roofs across Farnborough, particularly where original fixings have weakened over time. Wind exposure and natural settlement can cause tiles to shift, allowing water to reach the underlay and roof timbers beneath.
Chimneys and valleys handle large volumes of water and rely on sound leadwork and correct detailing. In Farnborough, leaks in these areas are often caused by deteriorating flashing or mortar breakdown rather than tile failure. Water can travel along rafters before becoming visible inside the property.
Many older pitched roofs in Farnborough 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 as 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 on roofs that have not been updated for many years. Loose ridges should be repaired promptly to reduce the risk of leaks and falling tiles.

Pitched roofing materials we work with
Homes across Farnborough 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 later developments in Farnborough. 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.
