Low Pitched Grey Slate Roof

Low Pitched Roofing Products

New research by TSB claim that many homeowners are choosing to stay put and to improve their current property rather than move home. This usually involves building an extension to the existing property. When constructing an extension, maximising the space available is everything, especially if a pitched roof is desired.

For homeowners who wish to keep a traditional feel to their property whilst utilising as much space as possible, a low pitched roof is the perfect solution. With many material options available including plain tile and slate, your extension can be in keeping with the original property.

Garden Grass Domestic Roof Space

Green Roof Spaces

Green roof spaces are fast becoming common sights around major cities globally. This trend is now finding its way into the domestic market as more and more homeowners are now turning their shed, garage or extension roofs into a bustling sprint of wildlife.

The advantages that many homeowners are now experiencing:

  • Reduced stress levels due to the aesthetically visual pleasure.
  • Increased insulation of the roof space which helps to keep those heating bills down.
  • Increased agricultural space. Many people use the green space to grow their own fruit and veg.
  • Creating new habitats for wildlife.
