Architectural Roofing Services
Building a new property extension, architectural build, or garage addition requires flawless roofing carpentry, precision timber framing, and robust weatherproofing. At Chelmsford Roofing Experts, we engineer complete new roof installations from the structural trusses up. We work closely with homeowners, architects, and main building contractors across Chelmsford to construct durable pitched and flat roofs tailored to local planning conditions and building regulations.

02
Every new installation integrates high-performance vapour-permeable membranes and compliant thermal insulation to meet UK Building Regulations Part L energy conservation requirements.
03
We coordinate with architects, main building contractors, and local authority building control officers to deliver smooth on-schedule installations backed by our 25-year structural warranty.

Our technical team provides detailed structural estimates, material advice, and architectural drawing take-offs.
Before We Start
Constructing a brand new roof structure requires careful engineering, weather coordination, and statutory compliance.
Total floor area, pitch complexity, structural truss design versus traditional timber cuts, and covering materials (slate, clay, concrete, or EPDM) define your quotation. We provide fixed-price tenders directly from architectural drawings with fully itemised labour and material schedules.
Constructing a new extension roof typically takes 4 to 8 working days from timber framing to final tiling. We sequence truss delivery, battening, and tiling seamlessly alongside your building contractor’s programme to ensure external trades progress without delay.
All new roof installations must strictly comply with UK Building Regulations regarding structural loading, ventilation, and Part L thermal performance. We coordinate through GOV.UK Competent Person Schemes to ensure your new build receives formal compliance certification.

The CRE Standard

Helpful Answers
Clear guidance on new roof carpentry, planning permissions, building control sign-offs, and tile selection.
It is best to consult us as soon as your architectural drawings are finalised. Early consultation allows us to advise on the most cost-effective truss vs cut-and-pitch roof framing, verify lead times for specialist tiles or slate, and schedule our installation seamlessly into your main building contractor's timeline.
Yes. All newly constructed roofs on extensions or new properties must be inspected and approved under UK Building Regulations. This ensures structural safety, adequate ventilation to prevent timber rot, and compliance with Part L insulation values. As certified installers under official GOV.UK Competent Person Schemes, we can self-certify our roofing work, saving you separate inspection fees and delays.
Trussed rafters are prefabricated, factory-engineered timber frames delivered ready to crane or hoist onto wall plates, offering speed and cost-effectiveness for standard roof spans. Traditional cut-and-pitch roofs are hand-cut by our carpenters on-site, which is essential for complex shapes, vaulted ceilings, and habitable loft room conversions. We construct both systems to exact structural calculations.
Yes. We take samples from your existing roof covering to source closely matching clay, slate, or concrete tiles from regional Essex merchants. Where existing tiles have weathered over decades, we can blend reclaimed tiles or source compatible weathered finishes so your new extension appears as a natural, seamless part of the original home.
