Case Study - Assured Properties London

We designed, manufactured and delivered almost 60 trusses, including the attic trusses pictured below, to a residential property in London that required a new roof. From point of order confirmation, the trusses were delivered in 6 days and installed shortly after. The largest truss was just over 8 metres long and weighed 135kg, making the crane onsite a necessity.

Why London Loves Roof Trusses

  • 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.

  • 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.
