At agivo the most common types of roofing used include pitched, flat and plastic or metal sheets. Below is our guide based on the different types of roofing available. From pitched to guttering, we’ve always got you covered.
Sometimes known as a sloping roof, the pitched roof contains a slight angle which causes the roofing to slope. This approach can be for aesthetic reasons as well as for protection. With a sloping roof, it is easy for excess water to drain away and cause minimal damage.
Flat roofs are different as they are more or less level. However, they still contain a slight angle to help prevent water from pooling. Most commonly found on tower blocks or extensions, a number of materials can be used including lead, felt and fibreglass.
If you are looking for a cost-effective option, then metal and plastic sheets are the best choice out there. This form of roofing is ideal for both commercial and domestic buildings and can often be seen on garages and outbuildings.
As one of the key aspects of roofing, it is important to maintain the guttering and fascias. A gutters main aim is to help direct water away, allowing it to safely drain without damaging foundations. It is important to have these inspected regularly as they can often become clogged up. The most common culprits include leaves, unwanted debris and dirt.
Our team are on hand to repair, maintain and replace gutters, fascias and soffits where appropriate.
We also work with lead flashings and valleys to ensure each installation is in perfect condition. A valley refers to the main intersection between a roof and a wall. Flashing refers to the small strip of metal which covers the joint created when the two surface types come together. If these fittings are not in top condition, then you could risk leaking water and damage both internally and externally.
Often referred to as bitumen, asphalt roofing ensures that your property is completely watertight. This material is used commonly for a number of applications including roofing, flooring, and roads. If this is a material you want to use, it is important to have a professional on hand to carry out installation.
