  • They’re a flexible, practical solution for all kinds of roof designs
  • Trusses can use up to 40% less timber than traditional options
  • Trusses arrive pre-assembled and are quick to install, saving time and labour costs on site
  • Our roof trusses are all made to measure with a high degree of accuracy.

Your Site Visit

One of the key things that sets us apart from other timber engineering firms is that we’ll always come and measure up. Prior to manufacture, Richard, our owner, will pop to your site to measure up. You can be sure of an accurate finish thanks to his 20+ years of experience.

Once you’ve accepted our quotation and we’ve received your order, we will book you a delivery slot.

Roof Truss Design Service

Thanks to our expertise, we’re happy to offer advice on your project at the design stage. Involving us early can mean a reduction in build cost. For example, reducing your roof pitch by one degree could make the difference between us being able to deliver your trusses in one piece or not. Or reducing the size of an attic room and attic truss installation by a few hundred mm could remove the need for additional steel beams.

No matter how complex your project, we’ll design an accurate and well-engineered solution. We’re a licenced Gang-Nail roof truss manufacturer. As such, our designs are created using the latest computer software from Gang-Nail. The result is a set of detailed 2D drawings that are clear and easy to follow.

Made to Measure Roof Trusses

Our workshop in Watton has the very latest manufacturing equipment. Our team follows the designs to the mm. All orders are double checked before they leave the premises. Your package can include all structural timbers, bracing, truss clips, hangers, gable straps and wall plate straps necessary for installation.

Your complete order will be delivered on one of our branded lorries. Based in Watton, Norfolk, we’re happy to deliver across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex. Want to see what we’ve been up to? Checkout our projects in Downham Market, Reepham, and Forncett St. Peter.

    Frequently Asked Questions – Roof Trusses

    What are roof trusses and why should I choose them for my project?

    Roof trusses are pre-engineered structural frameworks made from timber that provide support for your roof covering. They’ve become the most popular roofing solution in the UK because they’re cost-effective, use up to 40% less timber than traditional methods, and arrive pre-assembled for quick installation. This saves both time and labour costs on your building site.

    How long does it take to get custom timber roof trusses manufactured?

    We can supply roof trusses for your building project in just 5 days from survey. This quick turnaround makes us Norfolk’s leading independent supplier for bespoke timber roof trusses, helping keep your project on schedule.

    What's the difference between roof trusses and traditional roof construction?

    Traditional roof construction uses individual rafters and ceiling joists assembled on-site, while roof trusses are pre-manufactured triangular frameworks. Timber roof trusses offer several advantages: they’re more cost-effective, use less timber, provide greater design flexibility, and significantly reduce on-site construction time since they arrive ready to install.

    Do you provide site surveys for roof truss projects?

    Yes, we always conduct site visits before manufacturing. Richard, our owner with over 20 years of experience, personally visits your site to take accurate measurements. This ensures your roof trusses fit perfectly and eliminates costly mistakes that can occur with remote measurements.

    What types of projects can you supply roof trusses for?

    We supply timber roof trusses for projects of all sizes across Norfolk and Suffolk. Whether you’re a self-builder working on a home extension, or a large developer constructing new builds, we can design and manufacture roof trusses to meet your specific requirements.

    How are your roof truss designs engineered?

    We’re a licensed Gang-Nail roof truss manufacturer, and all our designs are created using the latest Gang-Nail computer software. This ensures every timber roof truss is accurately engineered and meets all structural requirements. You’ll receive detailed 2D drawings that are clear and easy to follow.

    Can you help with roof truss design to reduce construction costs?

    Yes, we offer design consultation services that can help reduce your overall build costs. For example, adjusting your roof pitch by just one degree might allow us to deliver trusses in one piece rather than sections. Similarly, small modifications to attic truss dimensions could eliminate the need for additional steel beams.

    What's included when you supply roof trusses?

    Your complete roof truss package can include all structural timbers, bracing, truss clips, hangers, gable straps, and wall plate straps necessary for installation. Everything is manufactured to measure in our Watton workshop using the latest equipment, with all orders double-checked before delivery.

    Based in Watton, Norfolk, we deliver roof trusses across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and Essex using our own branded lorries. This ensures your trusses arrive safely and on schedule for your project.

    Types of Truss

    Standard Fink Roof Truss

     A fink truss is very common type of roof truss that uses a ‘W’ shape between the chords and is an efficient roof truss shape for many different projects.

    Attic Trusses

     Roof trusses are described as ‘cold’, where the insulation is placed below the attic, or ‘warm’, where the insulation is placed in the roof itself. Attic trusses add additional floor space and create an insulated layer.

    Scissor Roof Truss

     A scissor truss, sometimes known as a vaulted truss, can be used to create more interesting ceiling shapes as they allow the height of a room to be increased using smaller timbers.

    Hip Roof Truss

    A hip truss can be used to create a flat roof section between roof slopes which helps to reduce the height of a building where that may be a consideration.

    Mono Roof Truss

    A mono truss is sloped in one direction and uses a single rafter. A mono truss can also be sued to form lean-to roofs and added as an addition to an existing building.

    Raised Tie Roof Truss

    A raised tie truss in used to give extra headroom and create a higher ceiling, without increasing the overall height of the building.
