We restore the timber structure of the roof – replacing or reinforcing rotten, cracked and sagging rafters, wall plates, purlins and boarding.

We start with an inspection from the roof space and check the timber along its full length, especially where the rafters sit on the wall plate and around the chimneys – that is where timber rots first. Before anything is dismantled, the affected part is temporarily propped.
New and retained elements are treated against rot and woodworm, and the roof is closed up with membrane, battens and covering. When the load-bearing layout changes, we work to a structural engineer's design, with approval where needed.
Technical detail: rafter thrust
Rafters push not only downwards but also sideways against the walls. If the collar ties or tie beams are removed during a conversion, the roof pushes the walls outwards and cracks appear below the eaves.
The most common situations people call us about, and how we approach them.
Process
We organise the work around the specifics of the city and the property, planning access, logistics and stages.
The price depends on the number and type of affected elements and on whether they are fully replaced or reinforced in place.
The final price is confirmed after a roof inspection, and the cost of any hidden damage once the affected area has been opened up.

Every completed project receives a warranty certificate. This is what it covers and for how long.
The extended term applies to the installations themselves and to the roofing work. Installed ready-made products — taps, fittings, appliances — carry the manufacturer's warranty.

Yes, if the damage is local. The covering over the affected area is removed, the elements are replaced or reinforced, and the roof is closed up again.
By the colour, the soft texture and with an awl – rotten timber gives way, sound timber does not. We pay particular attention to the rafter ends above the walls and the timber around the chimneys.
Usually not when damaged elements are replaced with the same cross-section. When the layout, pitch or load changes – for example a heavier covering or removed props – the decision is for a structural engineer.
Badly affected elements are replaced, and the rest of the timber is cleaned and treated with a product against wood-boring pests.
Yes, if they are sound – they are removed carefully, stacked and put back after the repair, and broken ones are replaced with matching tiles.
We will check the timber from inside and tell you which elements need replacing and which can be kept.
