As the housing sector evolves to meet modern design demands and strict energy efficiency targets, one tried-and-tested feature remains dominant: the pitched roof.


For developers and housebuilders, pitched roofing systems offer a unique blend of visual appeal, long-term durability, and high technical performance. Unlike flat or alternative roofing styles, pitched roofs continue to set the standard for both form and function in modern construction.


At Bracknell Roofing South, we’re seeing growing demand for expertly installed pitched roofing systems across a wide range of new build developments, and for good reason.


Why Pitched Roofs Perform Better in New Build Projects


Pitched roofs naturally offer advantages in:

  • Water drainage, reducing the risk of leaks or pooling;

  • Thermal insulation, helping developers meet EPC targets;

  • Solar compatibility, accommodating in-roof PV systems with ease;

  • Ventilation & structural performance, supporting compliance with Part L and the Future Homes Standard;

  • Protecting the overall building structure, boosting longevity and long-term value.
