CareHomeDeskCareHomeDeskA labelled diagram showing the real parts of a pitched and flat roof -- ridge, hip, valley, eaves, verge, batten, felt/underlay, flashing -- for describing a roof job accurately without needing to be a roofer.
Getting the right price for a roof job depends on describing what has actually gone wrong, and that depends on knowing what to call the part that has failed. "The felt has gone" and "a tile has slipped" describe very different jobs at very different costs -- the first points to the underlay beneath the whole covering, the second to one component on the surface. A labelled diagram makes this straightforward without needing any roofing background.
A full labelled diagram of a pitched and flat roof, covering ridge, hip, valley, eaves, verge, batten, felt/underlay, flashing and the other terms used throughout Plan My Work and this guidance library, is available to download: [Roof anatomy diagram (PDF)](/downloads/roof-anatomy-diagram.pdf).
