Common Pitched Roof Problems We Fix in Reading
Pitched roofs across Reading are exposed to wind, rain, and long-term wear. Over time, this leads to specific issues that need experienced inspection and proper repair, not guesswork.
Strong winds and ageing fixings can cause tiles to crack, loosen, or slip out of place. Left untreated, even a single missing tile can allow water into the roof structure and lead to wider damage. We identify the cause, not just the visible problem, and carry out secure, lasting repairs.
Chimneys, valleys, and roof junctions are common leak points on pitched roofs. Failed leadwork, worn flashing, or poor detailing can allow water to track into the property. We repair and replace these areas properly to restore full weather protection.
On older pitched roofs, the underlying felt and battens can deteriorate over time. Nail sickness, where fixings lose their grip, can cause widespread tile movement. These issues are often hidden but can lead to recurring leaks if ignored.
Ridge tiles are exposed to the worst of the weather. Mortar failure or movement can leave them unstable and unsafe. We assess whether rebedding, repointing, or modern dry ridge systems are the right solution for your roof.

Pitched Roofing Materials We Work With
We work with the most common pitched roofing materials found on homes across Reading and the surrounding areas.
Concrete Roof Tiles
Concrete tiles are one of the most widely used roofing materials on pitched roofs in Reading. They are durable and cost-effective, but can crack, slip, or degrade over time. We carry out repairs, replacements, and full installations using tiles that match your existing roof properly.
Clay Roof Tiles
Clay tiles are commonly found on older and character properties. While long-lasting, they require careful handling and correct fixing when repairs are needed. Our team has experience repairing and replacing clay tiles without compromising the appearance of the roof.
Natural Slate Roofing
Natural slate roofs require specialist knowledge due to the weight and fixing methods involved. Whether replacing damaged slates or assessing wider wear, we carry out slate roofing work with attention to detail to maintain both performance and appearance.
Pitched Roofing on Homes Across Reading
Much of the housing stock across Reading features pitched roofs, particularly on semi-detached and detached properties built from the mid-20th century onwards. These roofs commonly use concrete tiles, clay tiles, or natural slate, all of which age differently depending on exposure, installation quality, and maintenance history.
In areas around Reading, we frequently see issues caused by ageing fixings, worn underlay, and movement from years of wind and weather exposure. Older properties may also show signs of nail sickness or degraded felt beneath the tiles, problems that are not always visible until leaks or movement occur.
Understanding how pitched roofs in Reading were originally built allows us to assess whether a repair is sufficient or whether longer-term work is the safer option, helping homeowners avoid repeat issues and unnecessary costs.
