Roof carpentry
Pitched roof structures, rafters, hips, valleys and supporting timber work.
Structural carpentry
Structural carpentry and roof trusses for West Sussex projects.
Roof framing, rafters, roof trusses, joists, trimmers and load-bearing timber set out to the issued drawings for extensions and one-off residential builds.
Set out accurately. Built to the agreed information.
Structural carpentry has to work with the design, the surrounding construction and the programme. Small setting-out errors can carry through the project, so accuracy at this stage matters.
Clear drawings, specifications, access information and sequencing help define the package before work begins and support a more efficient build on site.
Structural elements
Timber within the structural package.
Joists & floor systems

- Careful setting-out of openings and geometry
- Coordination with services and following trades
- Clear communication around access and programme
Start with the structural details
Send the relevant drawings, specifications, spans and programme dates. Details of access, lifting arrangements and adjoining trades help establish how the timber package should be delivered.
