Roof Construction Progress on Our Dorset Home Renovation
As this full home renovation continues to take shape, we've reached one of the most exciting milestones in the project—the new roof structure is now being constructed.
After weeks of preparation, structural work and careful planning, the building is beginning to reveal its new shape. Watching the roof come together is always a significant stage, as it marks the transition from the structural framework to creating a weatherproof home ready for the next phases of construction.
Expert Carpentry Bringing the Design to Life
Roof construction requires precision, experience and attention to detail.
Our skilled carpentry team has been carefully installing the timber roof structure, ensuring every beam, rafter and connection is accurately positioned to create a strong, durable framework that will support the finished roof for decades to come.
Every stage is completed in accordance with the structural drawings, ensuring the highest standards of workmanship throughout the build.
A Major Milestone for the Project
With the roof framework now in place, the overall scale of the extension can finally be appreciated.
What was once an open construction site is rapidly becoming a recognisable home, with the new roof helping define the internal living spaces and bringing the architect's vision to life.
Reaching this stage also allows the project to move towards becoming weatherproof, protecting the building while internal works continue.
What Happens Next?
Over the coming weeks, work will continue with the installation of roofing materials, creating a fully weatherproof structure before attention turns to the inside of the property.
The next stages of the project include:
Roofing membrane and battens
Roof covering installation
Windows and external doors
First fix carpentry
Electrical and plumbing first fix
Internal plastering
Decorating and final finishes
Each stage builds on the last, ensuring every part of the renovation is completed to the highest possible standard.
