Having a pitched roof can have many advantages over a flat roof but this does often come with a higher price tag. While flat roofs can be built to accommodate foot traffic, pitched roofs can be converted to add a substantial amount of extra living space inside. Within a pitched room you can create an attic or even a spare room. This can give you the much-needed space you need and even add value to the property.

Pitched roofs are often more durable than flat roofs and usual last a long time. Due to their design, pitched roofs are also more reliable when it comes to drainage, with water naturally channelled into downpipes and guttering. There is far less chance of water and other weather conditions entering your roof space with a pitched roof.

The price of a pitched roof is always more expensive than some other roof designs and often does require regular maintenance. There are a number of different types of pitched roofs, the Double-Pitched roof is the most common design for roofs that have a pitch. This design can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. A mono-pitched roof usually has a pitch which is lower than the height of the ceiling.
