Carpentry & Roof Woodwork
Precision roof carpentry -- wall plates, rafters, purlins and noggins in treated, properly seasoned timber.
Overview
The covering only performs if the timber beneath it is sound. Our carpentry crews set out wall plates, rafters and purlins to the engineer's drawings, using treated and seasoned timber cut to consistent sizing.
We treat against termites and rot before any covering goes on, and we space members to suit the chosen roofing system rather than guessing. Good woodwork is invisible when it is done right -- and obvious within two seasons when it is not.

The benefits
Treated against termites
Timber is preservative-treated before installation to resist insects and rot.
Set out to drawings
Member sizes and spacing follow the structural design, not rule of thumb.
Seasoned timber
We avoid green timber that warps and pulls fixings loose as it dries.
Clean, accurate joints
Tight carpentry gives the covering a true, even plane to sit on.
