What is a Pitched Roof?
The high-performance bitumen felt system has been a reliable choice for decades, known for its durability and versatility. Typically, a three-layer torch-on system is used, consisting of a venting base layer, waterproofing felt underlay, and a
UV-protective mineral capping sheet. The bitumen core, combined with polyester or fibreglass reinforcement, provides excellent waterproofing and strength. This system is installed using a flame torch, creating a welded-like seal. With proper maintenance, bitumen felt roofs can last up to 20 years or longer.
EPDM Rubber Flat Roof
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber has gained popularity due to its exceptional flexibility and resilience. After extensive testing, EPDM rubber is expected to last up to 50 years. This rubber membrane can be customised to fit the roof’s dimensions, reducing potential weak points. The installation involves applying a water-based deck adhesive to the timber deck, followed by a high-strength solvent-based bonding adhesive to secure edges and up stands. EPDM is a low-maintenance, long-lasting option for flat roofing.

Why is the pitch of the roof so important?
In recent years, more homeowners have chosen to extend their homes rather than move, increasing the demand for low-pitched roofs. Architects often design these roofs to accommodate existing features, such as first floor windows or planning requirements. However, lower-pitched roofs drain water more slowly than traditional pitched roofs, raising the risk of water ingress due to capillary action. This means water is more likely to seep through the laps of the tiles. Thankfully, modern roofing solutions have been developed to address this issue. For example, the Marley Mendip concrete interlocking tile can be used on roofs with pitches as low as 12 degrees, while the Marley Wessex tile is suitable for pitches as low as 15 degrees. Choosing the right roofing tile is essential, and at Bennett Roofing, we’re here to help you make an informed decision.

Building Regulations for Pitched Roofs
Building regulations are national standards designed to safeguard health and safety while ensuring energy efficiency, fire safety, ventilation, and weather resistance. As a general rule, if more than 25% of a pitched roof is being replaced, building regulations approval is required. However, smaller, more specific repairs may not require approval. Because regulations can vary by location, we recommend consulting your local authority for precise requirements.

What are the different types of tiles?
Choosing the right roofing tile is crucial, as it significantly influences both the appearance and performance of your roof. Thankfully, the market offers a wide variety of options, allowing you to select the perfect fit for your home or business.
Concrete Plain Tiles
Among the oldest and most commonly used roofing materials, concrete plain tiles typically measure 265mm x 165mm and are laid in a brick bond pattern for stability and durability.

Interlocking Tiles
These tiles are designed to overlap and interlock at the sides, allowing for a single-lap installation. Their larger size means that 20 interlocking tiles can cover the same area as 60 plain tiles. Certain interlocking tiles are specifically designed for low-pitch roofs.

Clay Plain Tiles
Handcrafted from natural clay, these tiles are molded, baked, and often glazed. Their unique appearance ensures that no two tiles are identical, offering an attractive and timeless finish. Similar in size to concrete plain tiles, they are also laid in a brick bond pattern.
