At R & B Carpentry Ltd, our roofing and loft conversion services transform underutilised roof voids into modern, light-filled, and energy-efficient living spaces while securing the structural integrity of your property’s exterior overhead. Specialising in master timber roof construction and complex loft developments across London and the Home Counties, we construct all major conversion types—including dormer, mansard, hip-to-gable, and Velux sky-light conversions. From complex structural floor steelwork to handcrafted roof timber framing, our team delivers seamless architectural expansions engineered to the highest standards.
In addition to structural loft space creation, we provide complete, high-performance roofing construction and refurbishment. Our timber work spans traditional cut-and-pitch rafter roofs, engineered trussed rafters, roof dormer framing, fascia/soffit timberwork, and integrated thermal insulation solutions compliant with modern SAP building standards. Whether retrofitting an existing residential loft into a luxury master suite or constructing complex roof sub-structures on multi-unit new-build schemes, R & B Carpentry Ltd brings exceptional structural joinery, weather-tight execution, and meticulous project delivery.
The ideal style depends on your existing roof structure, headroom, and local planning guidelines. Rear dormers and hip-to-gable conversions are popular for maximising usable floor space, while Velux roof light conversions offer a streamlined solution often permitted without full planning permission.
Yes. Converting an un-inhabited roof void into a livable space requires independent structural floor joists and steel beams (RSJs) to support internal floor loads safely without placing weight on existing ceiling joists.
Fully. All our roofing and loft framing projects strictly adhere to current UK Building Regulations (Parts A and L), ensuring optimal structural calculation compliance, fire-stopping integrity, and modern thermal efficiency values.
