Post-War Semi-Detached roofing
1945–1965
Post-war semis used cheaper materials under pressure — concrete tile, mineral felt and softwood detailing that's now well past its design life.
Typical roof on a post-war semi
Concrete interlocking tile or thin Marley clay at 30–40° pitch, mineral felt sarking, narrow timber eaves and a small felted flat porch roof.
Common issues
- Sarking felt sagging or perished above the eaves
- Concrete tile lamination on weathered slopes
- Porch and outhouse felt roofs blistered or split
- Loft insulation blocking eaves ventilation
- Soakers and side-abutment flashings failing
- Open-jointed verges letting wind-driven rain in
