Pitched roofs are a classic and common sight, offering aesthetic value with numerous other benefits. Pitched roofing can take many forms, such as slate, tile,metal and wood. At Knights Roofing, we can discuss each roof type's pros and cons, and what we believe is be the best solution for your needs.

Advantages Of A Pitched Roof:

• A pitched roof allows for more efficient water drainage, naturally directing water away from the structure. In addition, the sloped shape reduces the likelihood of water accumulation.
• The space within the pitched roof can aid insulation, creating an air pocket to help insulate the house, keeping it warm in winter and cooler in summer.
• Pitched roofs offer a classic and aesthetically appealing look and feel. They can also accommodate additional features such windows.
• In cities like London, space is usually in high demand. The pitched shape provides an area for storage or even another room.
• On average, pitched roofs last longer due to their shape, reducing external issues such as water buildup.

Slate and tile are two of the most commonly used materials, each offering numerous advantages that are outlined below.

• Appeal: Tiles come in a variety of options, you can select the colour, shape, and finish to complement your property. Tiles also offer a classic, traditional feel.
