Where is your timber from?
95% of our timber is sourced from Vida, a Swedish company that is heavily-focused on sustainability and ethical practices. For every tree felled, two more are planted, and all forests are managed to eliminate deforestation.
Can I modify my trusses?
No—any form of modification to our products may impact their structural integrity; this includes cutting, drilling, notching, etc. Please contact us before making any changes to your product and we will be able to advise.
How long can trusses be stored on-site for?
Generally we recommend having your products delivered for the day of installation, or as near as possible. However, if kept off the floor and sheltered from the elements, they can be kept on-site for around two weeks to a month.
Who unloads my products when delivered?
It's the customer's responsibility to unload their manufactured products—this includes arranging any required mechanical lifting equipment.
What is your return policy?
All custom roof trusses and posi joists are non-returnable and non-refundable unless they are faulty. If an item is defective, damaged, or incorrect, please contact us immediately so we can assess the issue and provide a refund if necessary.
What are your opening hours?
We're open from 8am until 4:30pm, Monday to Friday.
Do I need a structural engineer to specify my trusses?
No, you do not need a structural engineer. We will design the roof truss and provide you with the necessary structural calculations for building control.
Do you charge for your designs?
No, our designs are free of charge. Please send over any drawings or details you may have and we'll get back to you with an estimate.
Do you install trusses & joists?
No, we don't install our products.
