Pitched Roof Construction
Pitched roofs consist of a wooden frame or truss, covered with a layer of roofing felt or similar material. They’re then finished with your choice of tiles or slates. The construction process usually begins with the installation of the timber frame or truss. This sees your roofing company use large pieces of timber that are bolted together to form a triangular-shaped structure. The truss is then raised onto the walls of the building and secured in place.
Next, a layer of roofing felt is laid over the truss to provide a waterproof barrier. We may also construct a temporary roof to prevent Brighton, East Preston, Arundel and Woodingdean’s often unpredictable weather from scuppering our work! This is usually followed by the installation of battens, which are wooden strips that create a space for the tiles or slates to be attached. Finally, the tiles or slates are installed on top of the battens, using nails or clips to hold them in place. The roof may also be finished with additional features such as gutters, fascias, and soffits to provide further protection from the elements. Voilà – your new roof installation is complete.
