Frequently asked questions

What types of roofs does your roof carpentry include?

Gable roofs, hip roofs, flat roofs, shed roofs, garage roofs, dormeos and extensions.

What is the difference between rafters and trusses?

Rafters are individual beams of timber that support the roof structure. Trusses are pre-fabricated, triangular frames made of wood or steel, designed to support the roof.

What are the common challenges in roof carpentry?

Complex roof designs where roofs have features (like dormers) that require precise cuts and measurements, weather conditions can delay work to avoid safety issues and structural issues, including hidden damages (due to rot or weakened structures).

How long does it take to build a roof structure?

Generally speaking, it can take anywhere from a couple of day to a couple of weeks. Largely depends on the design, complexity of the roof and weather conditions.

Can roof carpentry help with energy efficiency?

A well-insulated roof helps prevent heat loss in winter and keeps the building cooler in summer. Ventilation systems like ridge vents and soffit vents to allow airflow, preventing moisture buildup and improving indoor air quality. Skylights can also help with additional internal lighting and natural ventilation.

When do I need a roof carpenter?

You may need a roof carpenter, if you’re building a new roof or an extension, converting attic / loft space or notice common problems, such as sagging in roof frames, roof leaks or internal water damage, cracks in walls and ceilings.
