Two Trades, One Firm, One Answer
Ask around Chelmsford and you will find plenty of roofers and plenty of carpenters, but very few firms where the two sit under one roof. That gap costs homeowners money. A roofer who finds rotten timber books a chippy and waits. A chippy who finds a roof problem books a roofer and waits. In between, the job sits half-done and you manage two diaries, two quotes and two sets of questions.
We set up so that never happens. Our carpenters and roofers work as one crew, so the timber and the covering above it get priced, scheduled and guaranteed by the same firm. One number to ring, one visit to arrange, one crew answerable for the whole job.
If you have been quoted by a roofer who wants the timber sorted separately, or a carpenter who cannot touch the roof, that is exactly the juggling we exist to remove. See the whole service list on our Chelmsford roofers page.
Structural Carpentry
Roofs live on timber, and timber has to be right before any covering goes back on. We repair and replace rafters, joists, purlins and batten grounds across Chelmsford and the surrounding towns, splice out rotten rafter feet, and renew the timber decking that sits under flat roofs before the new covering is fitted.
Structural work beyond the roof is part of our carpentry too: floor joists, studwork and timber repairs around the property, done by people who understand loads because they deal with roof structures every week.
If your flat roof is being renewed, ask us about the decking underneath. Covering over soft decking is the single most common flat roof failure we are called to fix, and it is one we refuse to create. More on that on our flat roofing in Chelmsford page.
Finishing Carpentry Around the Property
Not every carpentry job we do involves a ladder. Our carpenters handle finishing work around the property for customers who already trust us with the roof, and plenty of our roofing jobs end with a bit of finishing work because the crew is already there and the customer asks.
The honest version of this page is that carpentry is a wide trade, and we would rather tell you what we can and cannot do than list everything and hope. Ring 07540 235332, describe the job, and we will tell you straight away whether it is one for us. If it is not, we will say so, because a job done badly in someone's home costs us more than it earns.
Roofline timber is the natural crossover, and you can read how we handle fascias, soffits and guttering on our Chelmsford roofline page.
When Carpentry and Roofing Meet
The trades meet more often than people expect, and this is where the one-firm setup really earns its keep. A re-tile that uncovers rotten rafters becomes a same-visit fix. A leaking flat roof that turns out to be failed decking gets the timber renewed before the new covering goes on, by the same crew in the same job. A sagging gutter run that traces back to soft fascia timber gets the board and the rafter feet sorted together.
