Question 1

Do you provide timber frame work for new builds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We fabricate and erect timber frames and trussed rafters for new build projects. We coordinate with your architect or structural engineer, set out to their drawings and supply site-fixing schedules for building control.

Question 2

Can you repair or modify existing roofs during a refurbishment?

Accepted Answer

We carry out structural repairs, tie-in new rafters, replace rotten timbers and strengthen trusses where necessary. After a survey we provide a clear specification so you understand which members are repaired, which are replaced and why.

Question 3

Will you work with building control and other trades?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We prepare and sign off on the carpentry elements required by building control, liaise with scaffolders, roofers and structural engineers and ensure the sequence of works keeps your programme on track.

Question 4

How do you ensure safety on site?

Accepted Answer

We operate under recognised Health and Safety practices, maintain public liability insurance and use certified fixings and restraint methods. Our team are trained for work at height and we plan lifting and access to reduce risk.

Question 5

What information do you need for a quote?

Accepted Answer

Provide drawings or photographs and a brief description of the scope, for example new truss layout, timber frame erection or repair work. If drawings are not available we can arrange a measured survey and issue a fixed written quotation.
