Standard Roof Truss

Step 1: Measure Your Building

You can use our roof truss measuring video to learn how to measure your building. If you're unsure, give us a ring and we'll talk you through it. It only takes a few minutes.

Step 2: Place Your Order

Select the span, pitch and overhang of the roof trusses, then add any drawings you might have. Don't worry if you don't have any—we'll contact you if we need more information. When you measure your span, make sure to include the bearing you'll rest the roof trusses on.

Step 3: We'll Phone You & Send a Design

Before even looking in the direction of a saw, we'll give you a ring to check all your measurements are correct. If everything looks good, we'll then send you our design for you to have a look through. If you need to make any amendments, we're always happy to do this. 

Step 4: We'll Begin Manufacturing & Arrange Delivery

Once you've confirmed your order, we can begin manufacturing your fink trusses. One of our team will be in contact to arrange delivery on a day that suits you.  

What Are The Benefits of Roof Trusses?

🪽Lightweight: Timber roof trusses use up to 40% less material than traditional cut roofs, making them significantly lighter yet just as strong.

💷 Cost-effective: Thanks to their rapid installation times and use of fewer materials, fink trusses are often cheaper than traditional cut roofs.

💪 Strong: Roof trusses, with their triangular design, are inherently stronger than traditional methods and will span further without supporting walls.

🏡 Versatile: Roof Trusses are available in a huge variety of configurations to suit your project. These can include attic trusses, raised tie trusses, scissor trusses and more.

⚙️ High quality: Our pre-fabricated timber trusses are designed in specialist licensed software from MiTek (Pamir) and made in a purpose-built factory, ensuring millimetre perfect accuracy every time.

🔨 More site space: Rather than having to store vast amounts of timber on site, roof trusses can be delivered just in time for installation.

Whether you're a complete beginner with no knowledge of the industry building a small extension or a seasoned veteran constructing multiple homes, our designers will effortlessly turn your requirements into clear, lifelike designs, allowing you to view 3D models of your proposed project with our roof trusses in place. Our design team are on hand to assist you with every step of your project, from initial enquiry through to installation. 

If you have a project that is a little too complex for ordering timber trusses online, get in contact here and have a chat. We're a friendly bunch.

We have some of the best toys in the industry. We have invested over £2.5M in our brand new facility and have used almost 20 years of manufacturing experience to ensure it does exactly what we want. It’s the secret to turning your project around in as little as 5 days.

Our Saws

We run two Hundegger saws from Germany. These saws are truly incredible, allowing us to cut the timber for your roof trusses at an astonishing pace whilst achieving pin-point accuracy. The saws are fed directly from our design office and will optimise the use of every length of timber for minimal waste.

Assembling the Roof Trusses

Once the timber components are cut, they move directly to one of our truss presses. Our skilled assemblers will set out the timber on the press with the assistance of a laser system—again, fed from our design office. The lasers minimise setup time whilst ensuring perfect accuracy every time. Once the truss is set, a jig is formed for multiple runs. Steel nail plates are then pressed into the timbers using 35 tonne presses to complete the roof trusses.

Timber Quality

Even the timber we use is specific to roof trusses and Posi-Joists. It's sourced from Sweden, where the cold climate ensures the tree grows slow and straight, resulting in a higher quality and more consistent product. The grading is called TR26, and is unlikely to be found at any builders merchants.
