Carpentry & Roofs in Cornwall | Structural Timber Framing & Roofing by RC Builds & Renovations

Our Carpentry & Roof structures

Exposed timber carpentry and roof structures in an attic.

RC Build & Renovations delivers specialist technical carpentry and complete roof solutions for residential and commercial projects across Cornwall and Devon.

 

From complex structural timber frames and traditional cut roofs to modern truss systems, intricate hip and valley detailing, and durable GRP flat-roof coverings, we handle the full package in-house.

 

Our experienced Cornwall-based team combines precision craftsmanship with practical project management so your roof is structurally sound, weathertight and finished to the same high standard as the rest of your build.

 

Keeping carpentry and roofing under one roof means fewer delays, clearer communication and no unexpected costs.

​

Why specialist roof carpentry matters in Cornwall...

 

The exposed coastal climate, driving rain, salt air and strong winds place heavy demands on every roof structure. A poorly designed or poorly executed timber frame can lead to movement, leaks and expensive remedial work years later.

 

We design and build roof structures that stand up to these conditions while meeting current Building Regulations for strength, insulation and fire performance.

​

Whether you are extending an existing home, converting a loft, building a new house or renovating a commercial property, the quality of the underlying carpentry determines how long the finished roof will last. Our work ranges from straightforward truss installations to highly complex custom ridge beams, hip roofs and multi-plane structures that demand accurate setting-out and skilled jointing.

Our Carpentry & Roofing Services

Every project begins with a detailed site survey. We produce clear plans of work, realistic timescales and transparent payment schedules so you always know what is happening and when.

 

Structural timber frames and new-build roofs:
For new builds and major extensions we construct the complete roof structure on site or erect factory-made trusses with equal care. Accurate setting-out, proper bracing and correct fixing of metal plates or traditional joints ensure the frame remains stable under load and wind. We regularly work with architects and structural engineers, interpreting drawings and making practical on-site adjustments when required. Our recent projects include large open-span roofs with central ridge beams, multi-bay agricultural-style conversions and contemporary coastal homes that need both strength and clean lines. We source high-quality graded timber and use modern connectors alongside traditional techniques where appropriate.

 

Flat-roof expertise:
Many Cornwall properties benefit from well-executed flat roofs – either as primary coverings or as sections of larger schemes. We prepare the deck with OSB or plywood, create correct falls for drainage, and apply professional GRP systems that carry a 25-year material warranty and our own 10-year workmanship guarantee.

 

Keeping the flat-roof work in-house removes the common problem of waiting for a separate roofing contractor and helps us protect the overall programme and budget.

 

How we work – one team, one point of contact:
Because we maintain a highly efficient in-house team covering carpentry, and have strong relationships with trusted local scaffolders and other trades, most jobs stay fully under our control.

 

This integrated approach delivers:

​

  • Consistent quality across the whole project

  • Faster progress with fewer trade interfaces

  • Accurate budgeting and no nasty surprises

  • Clean, tidy sites and full waste removal at the end
