How do you call one part of a pitched roof

The pitched roof consists of two sloping sides that have some angle between them. So how would one call such a side?

I would like to replace side of the roof in the following sentence with one word: "There is a chimney on one side of the roof and a dormer on another"


Solution 1:

Side or Slope

A pitched roof has names for many parts, and names for each layer of the roof. The big wide part that would be called a side does not have any more specific name. It is called a side or a slope.

In your sentence:

The roof has a chimney on one side and a dormer on another. The roof has a chimney on one slope and a dormer on another.
