Another traditional hand-cut roof completed by the team in Felixstowe.
This wasn't your average roof. To achieve perfect symmetry, we stripped back the original rear gable and completely reformed the internal valley. Every detail was carefully designed and set out before a single piece of timber was cut.
Our team carried out the full roof design, templated and installed the cranked structural steelwork, ensuring all steel remained hidden within the roofline for a clean, traditional finish.
The completed roof features:
• 4 hand-cut hip rafters
• 1 valley rafter
• 1 bespoke box gutter
• Intricate sprocket detailing to perfectly recreate the gentle sweep of the roof as it meets the fascia line
Like every roof we build, this one was cut and assembled the traditional way – with hand saws, hammers and around 10kg of hand-driven nails, combined with modern structural fixings, bolts and hangers to meet today's engineering standards.
Traditional craftsmanship, modern engineering, and attention to detail from start to finish.
If you're planning an extension, renovation or a bespoke roof structure, we'd be happy to help.
