Modern Detached roofing

Typical roof on a modern detached home

Concrete interlocking tile or plain clay at 35–45° pitch, dry-fix ridge, GRP or lead valleys, and often a flat dormer or extension roof at the rear.

Common issues

• Dry-verge clips letting go after 15–25 years
• GRP valley liners cracking at the laps
• Dormer cheek leaks at the lead soaker line
• Flat extension roof failing before the main slope
• Plastic dry-vent ridge units UV-degraded
• Box gutters between dormers overflowing in heavy rain
