Pitched roofing services in Marlow

Homes in Marlow often feature pitched roofs built with clay tiles or natural slate, particularly on older and character properties. Many roofs have also been altered over time with extensions or partial refurbishments, which can create weak points where materials and systems meet. Our pitched roofing service in Marlow focuses on identifying these areas of failure and carrying out work that keeps the roof performing as a single, well-sealed structure.

Common pitched roof problems in Marlow

Roofing issues in Marlow tend to develop gradually and are often linked to ageing materials, complex roof layouts, or previous alterations. Because many properties have visible rooflines, small issues are usually noticed only once damage has already begun.

Slipped or broken roof tiles

Slipped or cracked tiles are a common issue on pitched roofs across Marlow, particularly where original fixings have weakened with age. Movement caused by wind or natural settlement can open gaps in the roof covering, allowing water to reach the underlay and timber structure beneath.

Leaks around chimneys and valleys

Chimneys and valleys are high-risk areas on pitched roofs due to the volume of water they handle. In Marlow, leaks in these areas are often caused by ageing leadwork, mortar breakdown, or detailing that no longer performs as intended. Water can travel internally before any visible signs appear.

Worn felt, battens, and nail sickness

Older pitched roofs in Marlow frequently still rely on original felt and timber battens. Over time, felt can tear or lose effectiveness, battens may rot, and nail sickness can occur as fixings corrode and loosen. These issues often affect large sections of the roof rather than isolated areas.

Loose or failing ridge tiles

Traditional ridge tiles bedded in mortar are prone to cracking and movement as mortar ages. This is a common issue on roofs that have not had ridge work updated in many years. Loose ridges can allow water ingress and should be addressed promptly to avoid further damage.

Full pitched roof replacements

A full pitched roof replacement may be required where a roof shows widespread deterioration or repeated repair issues. This involves renewing membranes, battens, and fixings before installing new tiles or slates suited to the property and local conditions in Marlow.

Ridge tile repairs and dry ridge systems

For failing ridge lines, we offer both traditional ridge repairs and modern dry ridge systems. Dry ridge installations improve ventilation and reduce ongoing maintenance, making them a suitable option for many Marlow homes.

Pitched roofing materials we work with

Homes across Marlow use a variety of pitched roofing materials influenced by property age and architectural style. Using the correct materials and installation methods is essential for maintaining durability and appearance.

Concrete roof tiles

Concrete tiles are more commonly found on later developments and extensions in Marlow. They offer consistent performance and good resistance to the elements when correctly installed.

Clay roof tiles

Clay tiles are frequently used on older and character properties in Marlow. While durable, they can become brittle with age and require careful handling during repair or replacement.

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 visual consistency.

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.
