Scotland has a varied and significant architectural history, with influences taken from all over the world and styles influenced by styles of build, societal changes, material developments and additional factors. There are a significant number of roof styles and types within the UK and many more than standard flat or pitched. Common Roof Types Pitched roofs come in many different shapes and sizes and at Livingston Roofers we can cater to the needs of all. Gable to gable sometimes known as duo pitch is a standard roof shape in the UK and very common across the country. It usually has two sides at an angle or pitch of the same size. New build homes have this type of roof and they are well used in climates similar to the UK. Due to the pitched shape of the roof it is effective at combatting rain and wet weather conditions as water cannot pool across the roof which ensures minimum roof leakage. |

Hipped roofs are also prevalent throughout Britain. A hipped roof has 4 sides which all slope down towards the walls of the house. The gable end slopes inwards which changes the verge with an angle commonly termed the Hip. Hipped roofs have the advantage of being sturdy and ideal for houses in areas with inclement weather with snow and high winds. Hipped roofs require more materials and these roofs can generally be found on more expensive buildings or bigger houses.

Our team also see that T shaped roofs are also becoming more common in the UK. The pitched construction provides for surface water run off and waterproofing in the same way as a normal gable. This type of roof can be designed in a number of different shapes for instance T or L and a valley is created at the intersection of the roof join which is weatherproofed to ensure an efficient run off. L or T shaped roofs can have pitched or gable ends and there are a wide number of options to choose from.
Mono pitch roofs are one sided pitched roofs. This type of roof is usually used on additional building extensions and garages and the pitch is projected out from the building. The roof sometimes is attached to the main building at the side or apex of it’s slope making what is commonly termed an abutment. A dormer roof is not a standalone roof however is contained within an existing roof. A dormer is a s mall roof structure which incorporates a window and so gives additional space in the attic section. Dormer roofs are sometimes added subsequently to an existing roof. Many building owners who carry out an attic conversion add dormer windows and roofs in order to maximise and provide more internal space to the property.
A flat roof is very much as it sounds, a roof which is flat and horizontal to the structure walls. Flat roofs always have a fall to facilitate drainage and this is managed by the use of a tapered insulation system or a pitched deck to fully waterproof the roof. Flat roofs are becoming more popular in this country predominantly in urban areas and they are relatively low cost in terms of materials and construction. Flat roofs were historically used mainly for commercial buildings in the UK but as this type of roof enables affordable housing in towns and cities more residential buildings now have flat roofs constructed.
Sawtooth roofing was developed mainly for commercial buildings in order to protect working people from excessive sunlight. A sawtooth roof consists of ridges dual pitched on the side and the steeper pitched surface faces in the opposite direction for sunlight protection. Sawtooth roofs became unpopular over the last period of time however with new developments such as solar panels this type of roof is again becoming more popular and the increased natural lighting also supports lower power usage which is an increasing factor in modern building construction.
A Mansard roof has four sides and could be termed a gambrel type roof which has a double pitch across all of its sides. A Mansard roof was originally designed by the French architect of the same name and the design is classical in nature but one of its advantages is the large internal space which provides for an excellent for attic conversions. Roofs of this type must be correctly weathered across all pitch changes and properly ventilated to ensure they are watertight and damp free.
