Building an extension, a new-build garage or a home addition in Ipswich? We construct new roofs from the timber frame up, using materials suited to your project and the surrounding architecture.
A new roof is needed whenever you are building something that does not yet have a covering - a house extension, a new outbuilding, a detached garage or a new-build property. It is a different type of project to a replacement because the roof structure itself is being created from scratch rather than worked on top of an existing frame.
The work starts with the timber structure - either cut rafters formed on site by our team or a trussed rafter system manufactured off-site to engineer's drawings. The method depends on the roof shape, the span and the load requirements. Once the structural timbers are in place, we install a breathable membrane, batten out and then fix the chosen tile or slate to match the design spec or to complement the existing property. Valleys, hips, ridges, verges and any flashings are all formed as part of the same continuous process.
Getting a new roof right from the start matters more than on a repair job, because structural or weathering errors are expensive to correct once everything is covered up. For extensions in Ipswich, we work alongside builders and project managers and fit around the wider build programme. For standalone projects, we manage the roofing phase entirely.
We are comfortable working from architect's drawings or from a basic sketch and a site visit. Lead times and duration vary by project - a standard single-storey extension roof typically takes two to three days once the walls are at eaves height and ready for us. We give a fixed price before work starts.
New roof construction in Ipswich for a typical single-storey extension runs from approximately £2,500 to £6,000 depending on roof area, pitch and tile specification.
