An extra storey with a new roof on top, built in four days
A family in Kendal needed more space. The old roof had to come off completely. We prepared the new one in our workshop and assembled it on site before the rains came.
A pitched roof in C24 structural timber, 142 m², May 2025.
The owners were adding a storey, so the old roof came down to the last beam. We cut the frame in our workshop to the plans and brought it to site as a kit.
Then the roofers we've worked with for years laid the slates. From the first beam to the last batten took four working days.
“One morning we had no roof. By Friday we had fresh spruce over our heads.”Mrs Ellis, the owner
