Pitched Roofing Services in Guildford
If your pitched roof is leaking, losing tiles, or showing signs of age, we can help. We handle pitched roofing in Guildford for homeowners, landlords, and small commercial properties, from targeted repairs through to full roof replacements. Our approach is simple, inspect properly, explain the options clearly, and fix the cause, not just the symptom. Whether it’s a slipped tile, a failing ridge line, or water tracking in around chimneys and valleys, we’ll get it watertight and keep it that way.
Common Pitched Roof Problems We Fix in Guildford
Pitched roofs usually fail in predictable places, tiles, ridges, valleys, chimney flashings, and the felt and battens underneath. Here are the issues we’re called out for most often across Guildford.
A few slipped tiles can be enough to let water in, especially after high winds. Broken tiles are just as risky because water can track beneath the covering and soak the felt, battens, and insulation. We replace damaged tiles, re-fix loose ones, and check the surrounding area to make sure the problem does not repeat.
Chimneys and valleys are common leak points because they rely on leadwork, flashings, and correct detailing to move water away. If the flashing is cracked, loose, or poorly sealed, water gets in fast. We repair or renew leadwork where needed, re-dress flashings, and make sure the valley line is channeling water properly.
If your roof is older, the issue might be underneath the tiles. Felt can split or sag over time, battens can rot, and old fixings can fail, sometimes called nail sickness. That leads to repeated tile movement and ongoing leaks. We inspect the structure, replace failing components, and rebuild the roof covering properly where required.
Ridge tiles take a lot of weather, and once the mortar fails, they can loosen and become a safety risk. Water can also enter along the ridge line and spread across the roof space. We re-bed ridge tiles, re-point where appropriate, and can upgrade to a modern dry ridge system for stronger long-term performance.

Pitched Roof Inspections & Advice
Pitched Roofing Materials
Guildford homes come in all shapes and ages, so the right roof covering depends on the property, the pitch, and what fits the look of the area. We work with common UK pitched roofing materials and help you choose what makes sense for durability, appearance, and budget.
Concrete Roof Tiles
Concrete tiles are a popular choice for modern and many mid-age homes because they’re durable, cost-effective, and available in a wide range of colours and profiles. We replace damaged concrete tiles, match existing styles where possible, and install new coverings with correct fixings for long-term performance.
Clay Roof Tiles
Clay tiles suit many traditional properties around Guildford and hold their appearance well over time. They can be more brittle than concrete, so careful handling and correct fixing matters. We repair and replace clay tile roofs while keeping the finish consistent with the existing roofline.
Natural Slate Roofing
Slate is a strong, long-lasting option that works well on period homes and higher-end properties. If slates are slipping or cracking, it often points to fixing failure or issues with the battens underneath. We replace slates properly, check the supporting layers, and make sure the roof is secure and watertight.
Pitched Roofing on Homes Across Guildford
Guildford has a mix of period properties, family homes, and newer developments, which means pitched roofs vary a lot in material, pitch, and detailing. Some homes have older clay tiles and traditional ridge lines, while others use concrete tiles with modern dry fix systems.
That matters because the right repair depends on what the roof is made of and how it was built. A quick tile swap might solve the issue on one roof, but another might need ridge work, leadwork repairs, or replacement of worn felt and battens to stop leaks for good.
If you’re seeing water marks, damp loft insulation, or tiles moving after wind, it’s worth getting it checked early. Small faults on pitched roofs often spread, and the longer water gets in, the more it costs.
