Roof types for residential buildings like houses include 

• Tile roofing, a good option as it's relatively cheap to install but also very durable and long lasting. Tiling provides protection against rainwater entering your property while remaining attractive in appearance due to its versatility of design options. Tile roofs may require specialised waterproofing treatments due to their susceptibility to staining from rainwater. Roofs made of concrete are less common in the Nottingham than they used to be but can still be found on buildings that were constructed before 1980. The most important repair for this type of roof includes replacing any broken or missing tiles, and if the roof is in good condition then it'll simply need to be cleaned. Tiles are not difficult to replace but they can become heavy when wet so you might want a professional help with this task. Repair may be necessary also when the roof is leaking. Curved tile roofing has been around for centuries but it's still popular today due to its low cost, availability (you find them all over Europe), and good insulation qualities.

• Slate roofing. Slate roofing is excellent for protecting the house from leaks or other water damage. 

• Apartment buildings will normally have roof types such as concrete tile roofing, which is durable and can be repaired easily. 

• Townhouses will normally be fitted with roof types such as roofing shingles, which offer an attractive and affordable roof for single family homes.

• The best for detached and semi-detached houses and townhouses are called shingle roof, attractive and affordable.
