Staircase Installation
Stairs are of course used to access upper or lower floors in a property or public building. Domestically they are most commonly used to access a new loft space from the first floor or replace/renovate an existing staircase from ground to first floor. We use trusted joiners to construct the staircases we install. Which can be built from a variety of different materials depending on finish and budget such as: soft wood pine, PLY and MDF, solid oak and more.
Hand rails and spindles come in a huge variety of different moulding options, so whatever style or design you want to replicate in your property, this can always be achieved!
Hand-Cut Pitched Roofs
Traditional methods of roof construction involving individual timbers known as, rafters, cut and fixed to form custom shaped roof structures. These structures can be self supporting or integrated into steel frame work, helping to maximize useable space within the roof.
Loft Conversions
Loft spaces are converted into liveable spaces, using steel RSJ’s as load baring points to frame out with timber. There are a few different types of loft conversions such as: box / flat roof dormers, pitched dormers, mansard (dual pitched), L shape mansard, L shape dormer, hip to gable, pitched loft conversions. Lofts are a great way to extend your property, using the existing footprint.
Truss Roofs
This method of roof construction consists of pre formed trusses, designed to be braced and fixed together in such a way that each component forms one solid structure. Attic trusses are cleverly designed so the need for steel load bearing RSJ’s can be elevated, which can be particularly useful/cost effective in a liveable loft space scenario. Truss roofs are a great cost effective solution for pitched or flat roofs
Oak Framed Porches
Our Oak framed porches or outdoor structures, are formed in the traditional manor with mortise and tenon joints at post and beam intersections, held together using draw bore holes and oak pegs.
These are a real show piece to any home, long lasting and adding character to a front entrance or garden area. They can be built to any specification or design you require!
RSJ installations
RSJ stands for ‘rolled steel joist’ these beams come in many shapes and sizes and are used to support heavy downward loads such as: a bearing location for floor joists in a loft conversion, creating a steel load bearing structure for a roof, propping up the back of a house for an extension.
We can install these with precision, to ensure for a structurally sound build.
Flat Roofs
Flat roofs are commonly used on ground floor extensions, dormer loft conversions and commercial buildings due to the large surface areas, which provide a low level, space increasing alternative to pitched roofs. There are two main types of flat roofs in regards to insulating: warm deck and cold deck. The construction method for both of these types differentiates by: cold decks being cross battened for ventilation/airflow, preventing condensation build up within the roof void, warm decks: 150mm insulation being installed above the timber structure with no airflow required.
