New Roof Installation FAQs

Planning a new roof installation? Find answers to common questions and connect with reputable roofing contractors in UK on Roofyng.co.uk.

What is a roof ridge?

The roof ridge is the highest horizontal point on a sloped roof, where two roof planes meet. It's often capped with ridge vents to allow for ventilation or with ridge shingles or tiles for a finished aesthetic.

What is roof pitch, and why is it important?

Roof pitch refers to the angle or slope of the roof. It is expressed as a ratio (e.g., 4:12) or in degrees. Roof pitch is crucial for:
  • Water Drainage: Steeper pitches shed water more efficiently, while lower pitches require more careful waterproofing considerations.
  • Material Choice: Some roofing materials are better suited for certain pitches.
  • Aesthetics: Pitch contributes to a building's overall architectural style.
  • Structural Support: The pitch affects the load-bearing capacity of the roof structure.
Your roofing contractor will consider roof pitch when planning and installing your new roof.

What is the difference between a roofer and a roof inspector?

Though both deal with roofs, their roles are distinct:
Roofer: A skilled tradesperson who performs the hands-on work of installing, repairing, or replacing roofs.
Roof Inspector: A qualified professional who assesses the roof's condition and provides a detailed report of their findings, without doing repairs.

How do I know if my roof ventilation is adequate?

Adequate roof ventilation is essential for regulating temperature and moisture in your attic. Signs of poor ventilation:
  • Excessive heat in the attic during summer.
  • Moisture or frost buildup in the attic during winter.
  • Premature shingle deterioration.
  • Higher than usual energy bills.
A balanced ventilation system includes intake vents (soffit vents) and exhaust vents (ridge or gable vents). A roofing contractor can assess your ventilation.
