Our Roof Carpentry Nottingham Services
Cut Roof Construction
Traditional cut roofs are crafted on site by our skilled roof carpenters, giving you complete flexibility over design and pitch. This method is ideal for complex roof shapes, bay windows, and properties where a bespoke approach is needed. We measure, cut, and fit every rafter, purlin, and ridge board by hand to ensure a precise, long-lasting structure.
Roof Extensions and Raised Roof Lines
Need more headroom or extra living space upstairs? We carry out roof extensions and raised roof-line work across Nottinghamshire, removing existing roof timbers and rebuilding at a higher level. This type of timber roof construction requires careful structural planning, and our team has the experience to get it right first time.
Truss Roof Installation
For straightforward roof designs, factory-made trusses offer a cost-effective and efficient solution. Our carpenters in Nottingham handle the delivery, crane coordination, and installation of trussed rafters, ensuring each truss is correctly braced and securely fixed. Truss roofs are well suited to new-build houses and extensions where speed and consistency matter.
Dormer Construction
A well-built dormer adds valuable floor space and natural light to a loft room. Our residential carpenters construct flat-roof, pitched-roof, and gable-end dormers, forming the structural timber frame, fitting the cheeks, and preparing everything ready for cladding and weatherproofing by follow-on trades.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Carpentry
What is the difference between a cut roof and a truss roof?
A cut roof is built on site by our carpenters, with each rafter, purlin, and ridge board measured and cut individually. This allows for complex shapes and bespoke designs. A truss roof uses factory-manufactured timber frames that are craned into position and fixed in place. Trusses are faster to install and suit simpler roof layouts. We can advise which approach is best for your project.
How long does roof carpentry take?
Timescales depend on the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward truss roof on a single-storey extension might take two to three days. A full cut roof on a new build or a loft conversion with a dormer could take one to two weeks. We will give you a realistic timeline at the quotation stage.
Do I need planning permission for roof work?
Many roof repairs and like-for-like replacements fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission. However, loft conversions, dormers, and changes to the roof line usually need either planning permission or a lawful development certificate. We recommend checking with your local authority or architect before starting work. Building regulations approval is normally required for any structural roof work.
Do you do tiling and slating as well?
We specialise in the timber carpentry element of the roof — the structural framework, battening, and fascia work. We do not tile or slate roofs ourselves, but we work closely with trusted local roofers who can complete the weatherproofing once our carpentry is finished. We are happy to coordinate this for you if needed.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Nottingham and cover the whole of Nottinghamshire, including Arnold, Beeston, West Bridgford, Hucknall, Mansfield, and the surrounding villages. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, give us a call and we will let you know.
What qualifications do your carpenters have?
Our team includes time-served carpenters with NVQ and City & Guilds qualifications in site carpentry. We are Checkatrade verified and carry full public liability insurance. We stay up to date with current building regulations and best-practice guidance for timber roof construction.
