Low-pitch extension roof replacement

A newly built extension had been fitted with roof tiles and roof windows that weren't suitable for its shallow pitch. Water was tracking through the tile laps by capillary action, causing repeated leaks.

The original roof design hadn't properly allowed for the low pitch. A specialist system was needed to drain water effectively and give reliable long-term weather protection.

The replacement products had to be specifically approved for the roof's shallow angle.

The extension also needed to keep its natural daylight, through correctly specified low-pitch roof windows.

Low-pitch roofs are more prone to leaking when they're installed incorrectly or with the wrong materials. Everything we installed had to be made specifically for low pitches.

The work was carefully sequenced as a strip and replacement, so the roof stayed weatherproof throughout.
