We specialize in custom rafter cutting for everything from simple house extensions, to irregular hip and valley roofs, or custom curved rafters. With years of experience in the industry, we ensure every rafter length is precise, meeting the needs of residential and commercial projects. Our focus is on delivering quality and efficiency. Roof framing is a true passion of ours, and we go to great lengths to ensure mathematical precision, and that your roof will be straight and true for years to come.
We use a combination of age old, and new techniques, and take great pride and satisfaction in sharing this knowledge with young minds who are eager to learn the craft, and gain an invaluable skillset that they can carry into their future careers.

For us, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing your roof frame come together smoothly and efficiently, and it's what we strive for on every job.
There is a misconception that trusses are faster, and whilst that appears on the surface to be the case, it appears that way because the knowledge of how to calculate roof component lengths has been vastly lost by most modern carpenters. Watching all the pre-cut roof components be quickly installed is a sight to behold, especially when there is no stopping to work out lengths for rafters.
Our Process
We aim to make the process as straightforward and seamless as possible. Here's what you can expect when we work with you:
- Initial Consultation: We discuss your project requirements, review architectural and structural plans, and provide recommendations tailored to your needs.
- Precise Measurements: We provide precise heights for walls, beams etc, so that when your rafters arrive, installation is straightforward and efficient.
- Custom Cutting: Our skilled craftsmen cut and prepare your rafters with mathematical precision, ensuring a straight and true roof frame.
- Labelling: All rafters, ridges, valleys and hips come completely labelled, including a custom roof plan for easy setout and reference.
- Quality Assurance: Each piece is inspected to meet our high standards of craftsmanship and durability.
- Delivery or Pickup: We offer flexible options for delivery or pickup, ensuring your roof frame arrives on time, ready to install.
- Installation: Our system essentially comes as a LEGO set for easy installation by others, but we also offer installation from our highly skilled team, who love nothing more than installing the rafters they have cut.
Our team is committed to providing exceptional service and craftsmanship at every step of the process.
Benefits of a Traditional Roof Frame
Choosing a traditional roof frame crafted by our skilled team comes with several advantages:
- Strength and Durability: Built to last, traditional roof frames provide unmatched structural integrity.
- Straightness: The ceiling and rafters remain straight, leading to much quicker and easier work for subsequent trades.
- Customizable Design: Tailored to suit unique architectural styles and complex designs.
- Flexibility: Ideal for accommodating future modifications or renovations. No need for cranes to lift heavy trusses into place.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces material waste and ensures optimal fit for every project.
- Additional Area: With proper engineering, a traditional roof frame can provide you with additional storage space, and allows for easier access to your roof space for other trades.
- Quick Lead Times: No wait times from ever slower truss manufacturers that can't keep up with demand, who are then forced to use unskilled labour.
- Hand Made: Being handmade gives us the opportunity to pass this knowledge onto future generations, ensuring the quality of available tradesmen into the future.
