Protection from the elements: A 1 in 80 slope will protect even a flat roof from pooling of water that occurs frequently.
Extremely hot and cold weather protection: If you are having a new roof, or your roofing company are repairing a partial roof, ask if they can insulate it too. This will help your bills to reduce over the year. Ensure you ask that the roof complies with Part L of the Building Regulations.

Your roof is decked with a layer of plywood, or a material called OSB3. It covers the roof joists and supports the damp membranes, breather membranes, and insulation layers.
If this layer becomes damaged by water leakages then it should be replaced completely. This is named as re-decking. A reliable roofing company will provide you with a free quote that you can compare to others.
