Pitched roofing
Pitched roofing for London homes and extensions.
Pitched roof repairs and renewal planned around the covering, slopes, ridges, valleys and roofline.
Hip ridges and grey roof coverings.
Big Ben Roofing Ltd takes enquiries for pitched roofing in London, whether the work concerns one slope, an extension or the main roof. Tell us about damaged covering, a junction problem or your plans for renewal. The proposal should bring the covering and its adjoining details together as one roof.
What to discuss
- The condition of the main slopes, ridges, hips and visible roof edges.
- How the roof meets chimneys, adjoining walls, valleys and rooflights.
- Whether you want to address a particular defect or compare a wider scope of work.
Look at the roof as a connected structure
The covering is one part of the assessment. Access, the supporting roof, junctions and the route into the guttering all need to be considered when defining a proposal.
If your enquiry involves a different covering, ask which options suit the existing structure and appearance. A photograph alone cannot establish the condition of concealed parts or confirm which product should be used.

Useful details for your enquiry
- Identify the front, rear or side slope and describe what you have noticed.
- Include any roof drawings, previous repair information or material details already available.
- Mention rooflights, shared boundaries and access restrictions. Share only photographs you can take from a safe place.
Make the proposed scope clear
Before agreeing work, request a description of the areas included, covering and junction details, access arrangements and disposal. Any allowance for concealed defects should be distinguished from the work already assessed.
Questions about pitched roofing
Do I need to know whether the roof is slate or tile?
No. Describe its appearance and the issue you have noticed. The covering and suitable next steps can be clarified during assessment.
Can I enquire about only one roof slope?
Yes. Specify the slope or section. Its connections to the rest of the roof still need consideration before the scope can be confirmed.
