Roof Finish Options including Tiled Roofs

A slate, clay or ceder shingle tiled roof are alternative roof coverings to match existing buildings in the locality. We can adapt any of our timber buildings accordingly. A tiled roof changes the way a building is constructed; wall panels require upgrading, flitch beams need to be fitted above windows and doorways etc. In addition specialist roof trusses need to be fitted to comply with building regulations. And it’s all dependent on your choice of pitch and tile. By working with you and understanding your needs, Chart Stables can design the right roof for your unique situation.

Buildings with a tiled roof require an upgraded specification and include the following:

• Specialist roof trusses
• 100mm x 50mm (4” x 2”) timber framing
• Fully treated timber
• Diagonal bracing to all external walls
• Lining paper to wall construction
• 400mm (16”) studwork in wall construction
• Flitch beams over door and windows
  
  

Or alternatively, you could you could opt for an Onduline or felt tiled roof, in which case our standard building specification applies.
