⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Researching roofing options for an outbuilding, I came across Tailor Made Designs via an online search. I was particularly impressed to receive a tailored quote and CAD within 24 hours of calling them - this shows a professionalism and commitment that is so often missing now. Revisions to the design to maximise usable area and storage facilities were no issue, and the products were delivered on time and per the agreed drawings. And the price is comparable or beats the labour of a cut roof. Would definitely use again.

Why London Loves Roof Trusses

  • Often No Need for Crane

    Hiring a crane in London is expensive, difficult and often simply not viable due to the densely populated nature of the city. Streets are narrow, buildings are close to one another and closing roads would cost you your right arm and first born child. Dependent on the size of the trusses, they can often be offloaded and lifted into place by hand.

  • Better Use of Space

    Trussed roofs can be designed to maximise usable internal space while still meeting height restrictions common in London boroughs. This is particularly valuable for loft conversions, infill sites and multi-unit residential schemes where every centimetre counts.

  • Quick to Install

    Like most things in London, the price of labour is higher than in other areas. Roof trusses can be installed in as little as a day and require no costly modifications. If you're in the trade then you're welcome, you've now got more time, and if you're paying someone then you're also welcome, you've saved some money. Win-win.

  • Consistency for Building Control

    Factory-engineered trusses provide predictable structural performance, clear calculations and easier sign-off for Building Control, which reduces delays on inspected stages.

  • Thermal Efficiency

    Speaking of building control, trusses, with their factory-made, predictable and highly accurate dimensions, allow for easy insulation and membrane installation, making it easier to meet Part L energy targets.

  • Reliability

    Roof trusses are extremely consistent and precise thanks to their truss-specific, kiln-dried TR26 graded timber. This reduces the liklihood of warping or water ingress over time.
