Brand New Roof Project Brief
1
This specific project formed a crucial part of a larger extension endeavour. We were entrusted with setting out, designing, and managing a variety of trades to see the project through to completion.
The client desired the new roof pitch and aesthetics to closely replicate the existing main roof.
This requirement necessitated meticulous planning and careful consideration of materials to ensure a seamless integration with the original structure.
Safety and Pre-Planning
One of the primary challenges in roofing projects is managing less-than-ideal conditions. In this particular roofing project, we faced the obstacle of being unable to utilise a crane for lifting.
As a result, we had to manually lift and position the roofing components. This process required extensive pre-planning and a comprehensive approach to addressing the associated safety concerns.
The project involved a hand-cut vaulted ceiling roof featuring a glulam beam, which needed to be precisely suspended from the interior. Achieving millimetre-perfect placement was crucial, as this beam formed the fundamental structure of the entire roof.
Ensuring this level of accuracy by hand, while maintaining the safety of all trades involved, was an extraordinary task that showcased our team’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail.

Roofing projects can present a range of unique challenges, and understanding potential obstacles is crucial for maintaining workflow efficiency and adhering to project timelines.

Roofing Project Installation

The installation progressed smoothly, achieving impeccable accuracy and safety throughout the process. We maintained the roof’s pitch to match the existing main roof, ensuring a seamless tie-in at the ridge. Prior to commencing the build, we dedicated significant time to sourcing reclaimed tiles. These reclaimed tiles were meticulously mixed with the existing tiles we removed, creating a perfectly blended aesthetic that harmonised with the original structure.
To enhance the grandeur of the roof, we installed wide soffit and fascia boards, which added a robust and elegant touch. A large gable ladder was also incorporated, serving as an impressive flagship feature. This not only provided structural integrity but also elevated the overall visual appeal of the roof.
Our attention to detail and commitment to sourcing quality materials resulted in a roof that not only meets but exceeds the client’s expectations, blending seamlessly with the existing architecture while offering a distinctive and commanding presence. For roofing services in Chelmsford and across Essex, our expertise ensures your project is completed to the highest standards of excellence.
Roofing Project Final Results

Overall, I was extremely pleased with the outcome of this project. It was an especially challenging endeavour, involving the manual lifting of a 250kg feature beam onto the ridge of the roof. Despite the complexity, the process went more smoothly than I could have anticipated.
The new roof not only integrates seamlessly with the existing structure but also serves as the ceiling for the new master bedroom. The precision and care taken during the installation have resulted in a flawless finish that enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of the space.
