Pitched & Tiled Roofing in East Yorkshire

Pitched roofing is the classic sloped roof found on most East Yorkshire homes, finished in slate, clay or concrete tiles. We install, re-cover and repair pitched roofs of all types, including the underlay, battens, ridges, valleys and flashings that keep them watertight and storm-resistant.

Priced per project after survey based on covering, pitch, access and detailing. Free fixed quote.

Signs you may need pitched and tiled roofing

Spotting these early usually means a smaller, cheaper job. If any sound familiar, it's worth getting the roof looked at.

  • Slipped, broken or missing tiles or slates
  • Cracked or loose mortar on ridges and verges
  • Leaks around valleys, chimneys or roof junctions
  • Sagging between rafters or daylight in the loft

Pitched & Tiled Roofing — frequently asked questions

How long does a tiled roof last?

Concrete tiles typically last 40–60 years, clay tiles 60+ years, and natural slate can exceed 100 years when well maintained. The underlay and fixings usually need attention sooner than the tiles themselves.

What is a dry ridge system?

A dry ridge mechanically fixes ridge tiles with clamps and screws instead of mortar. It meets the current BS 5534 standard, resists storms, and will not crack or wash out like old mortar bedding.

Can you match my existing tiles?

In most cases yes. We source matching or sympathetic tiles, including reclaimed slate and pantiles, so repairs and extensions blend in.
