Traditional roofs, expertly considered
A roof built to protect your home.
Pitched roofing is the familiar sloping roof found on many homes across the UK. C. Stevens Roofing undertakes work on tiled pitched roofs, from a new roof construction to renewing or repairing an existing roof.
- New roof construction
- Re-tiling an existing roof
- Roof extensions
- Roof repairs
The roof design and the preparation needed to secure it to the main structure should be considered as part of the wider building design. A suitable, sound supporting structure is essential before the roof is installed.
Two common approaches
Understanding roof types
The two main approaches to pitched roof construction are traditional cut roofs and prefabricated trussed rafters. The right choice depends on the building, the available space and how the roof void is intended to be used.
Traditional cut roof
Built using substantial timber members. Load-bearing walls support horizontal purlins, with rafters fixed at regular intervals to carry the roof covering. Steel beams may be used where larger spans are involved.
Trussed rafters
A lightweight arrangement of smaller bracing timbers, assembled into frames and connected with galvanised metal plates. It can be lifted into position more easily, but the bracing can limit usable roof-void space.
Roof shape, materials, load-bearing requirements and fixing details all need to be considered alongside cost, appearance, building regulations and any planning constraints.
