Pitched roofing services in Wokingham
Pitched roofs across Wokingham range from older tiled systems on established residential streets to newer developments with modern concrete tiles and dry ridge systems. Our pitched roofing service covers everything from isolated repairs through to full roof replacements, with a focus on long-term weather protection rather than short-term fixes. Whether the issue is slipped tiles, ageing felt, or ridge failure, we assess the roof as a system, not just the visible problem.
Common pitched roof problems in Wokingham
Many pitched roof issues in Wokingham develop gradually and often go unnoticed until water ingress or visible tile movement appears. These problems are usually linked to age, weather exposure, or earlier repairs that were not carried out properly.
High winds and natural wear can cause tiles to loosen or crack over time, particularly on exposed elevations. In Wokingham, this is commonly seen on older roofs where fixings have weakened. Left unattended, even a single slipped tile can allow water to reach the underlay and timbers below, leading to more extensive damage than first expected.
Chimneys and valleys are two of the most common leak points on pitched roofs. Failed lead flashing, cracked mortar, or debris build-up can all allow water to track into the roof space. These leaks often show internally as damp patches well away from the original fault, which is why a proper inspection is essential before repairs begin.
On ageing pitched roofs, the original felt and timber battens can deteriorate, particularly where ventilation is poor. Nail sickness, where fixings begin to corrode and lose grip, is another common issue. These problems are rarely visible from ground level but can lead to widespread tile movement and water ingress if not addressed.
Ridge tiles are exposed to the worst of the weather and are often the first area to fail. Traditional mortar-bedded ridges can crack or loosen over time, creating a risk of water penetration or falling tiles. In Wokingham, we frequently see ridge issues on roofs that are otherwise in reasonable condition but have simply reached the end of their mortar lifespan.

Pitched roofing materials we work with
Different areas of Wokingham feature a mix of roofing materials, influenced by property age and development style. Choosing the right material is essential for durability, appearance, and compliance with local planning expectations.
Concrete roof tiles
Concrete tiles are commonly used on newer homes due to their strength and consistency. They offer reliable weather protection and are available in a wide range of profiles and colours, making them suitable for both modern and traditional-style properties.
Clay roof tiles
Clay tiles are often found on older or character properties and are valued for their appearance and longevity. While durable, they can become brittle with age, making careful handling and correct replacement essential during repair work.
Natural slate roofing
Natural slate roofs are known for their long lifespan and distinctive look. Repairs require experience and attention to detail, particularly when sourcing matching slate. Many older homes around Wokingham still feature slate roofs that can be maintained effectively with the right approach.
