Engineered Timber Roof Truss Systems

Roof trusses are factory-manufactured structural frames designed to support the roof covering, ceiling loads and associated imposed loads. They provide a precise and efficient alternative to constructing a traditional cut roof entirely on site.

One Stop Consult and its specialist supply-chain partners can coordinate roof truss design and supply for residential and commercial projects throughout the UK. Options include standard fink trusses, attic trusses, monopitch trusses, raised-collar trusses and bespoke solutions for complex roof shapes.

Trusses can be packaged around the site programme, clearly labelled to support erection and supplied with a coordinated drawing pack.

Key Advantages

Why Choose Engineered Roof Trusses?

Factory-made roof trusses can reduce installation time, improve dimensional accuracy and accommodate complex architectural designs.

01

Fast Installation

Pre-engineered trusses arrive ready for erection, reducing time spent cutting and assembling the roof structure on site.

02

Complex Roof Shapes

Engineered systems can accommodate hips, valleys, dormers, multiple pitches and other demanding roof contours.

03

Long Spans

Trusses with spans of up to 18 metres can be manufactured where the structural design, transport and installation conditions allow.

04

Reduced Steelwork

Carefully designed attic and metal-web arrangements may reduce or eliminate some steel beams from the roof structure.

05

Sustainable Timber

The existing OSC service references PEFC-certified, fully sustainable graded timber.

06

Controlled Manufacture

Factory production supports consistent dimensions, connector-plate placement and quality control.

Truss Type Preview

Which Type of Roof Truss Do You Need?

These four common truss types are shown on the existing OSC service page. The final solution will depend on the roof shape, internal space, spans, loads and structural supports.

Attic Roof Truss

Designed with a clear central opening to create usable living or storage space within the roof. Attic trusses can help maximise floor area while retaining an engineered roof structure.

Single Roof Slope

Monopitch Truss

Used where the roof slopes in one direction, including extensions, lean-to roofs, commercial units and sections adjoining a taller building.

Conventional Trussed Roof

Standard Fink Truss

A widely used economical truss for straightforward pitched roofs. The internal web pattern transfers loads efficiently between the ridge and external wall bearings.

Keytruss Attic “Room in a Roof” Systems

The existing One Stop Consult page highlights the Keytruss attic “Room in a Roof” product, developed to respond to increasingly complex domestic and commercial roof designs.

Attic trusses create an open zone within the roof structure that can be used for bedrooms, offices, storage or other accommodation, subject to planning, Building Regulations, fire safety, access and structural requirements.

The design can incorporate integrated metal-web floor and rafter solutions, helping coordinate both the room floor and roof structure.

What Is Included in a Roof Truss Package?

The precise package depends on the project and agreed supplier scope, but a coordinated roof-truss supply normally includes the manufactured trusses and the information needed for erection.

The existing OSC service states that trusses can be packaged to suit the site programme, supplied with clear drawings and labelled to assist erection.

Integrated Roof Solutions

Gable, Spandrel and Metal-Web Options

Roof trusses can form part of a broader prefabricated timber package, reducing work at height and simplifying site construction.

Gable Panels

Prefabricated timber gable panels can reduce the amount of masonry construction required within the roof zone.

Spandrel Panels

Spandrel panels can provide factory-built dividing structures between dwellings where the full wall and fire design permits.

Metal-Web Floors

Integrated metal-web floor systems can provide service-friendly floor zones within attic truss arrangements.

Pre-Slung Trusses

Trusses and panels may be pre-slung to support safer and more efficient crane unloading on site.

Factory Timber Treatment Options

The original OSC service references an optional factory treatment that can provide a 60-year guarantee against fungal and insect attack, subject to the treatment provider’s terms, correct installation and ongoing building conditions.

Treatment requirements should be agreed before manufacture because they may affect cost, lead time and handling.

Suitable Applications

Roof Trusses for Residential and Commercial Projects

New-Build Houses

Standard and attic trusses are widely used across individual homes and larger housing developments.

House Extensions

Monopitch, raised-collar and bespoke trusses can suit many extension roof forms.

Apartment Developments

Engineered roof structures can accommodate larger residential blocks and more complex roofscapes.

Commercial Buildings

Trussed rafters can be designed for offices, retail, care, education and selected industrial buildings.

Room-in-the-Roof Schemes

Attic trusses can create additional accommodation without a fully traditional cut-roof structure.

Complex Roofscapes

Bespoke truss packages can accommodate intersecting ridges, hips, valleys, dormers and multiple roof pitches.

Design Coordination

Information to Confirm Before Manufacture

Roof trusses are manufactured to project-specific dimensions and should only be released once the roof geometry and support conditions are agreed.

Roof Geometry

Pitches, spans, ridge positions, hips, valleys, overhangs and roof levels must match the approved drawings.

Structural Bearings

External walls, internal supports, steel beams and girder-truss positions must be fully coordinated.

Openings and Features

Stairwells, chimneys, dormers, rooflights, plant openings and service zones should be identified before design approval.

Loading Requirements

Roof finishes, ceilings, solar panels, water tanks, plant and local snow or wind loads may affect the truss specification.

How the Roof Truss Supply Process Works

Accurate drawings at the beginning help the supplier prepare a coordinated design, quotation and manufacturing programme.

Review architectural and structural drawings.
Confirm roof shape, spans, supports and loading.
Coordinate openings, dormers and special trusses.
Prepare the proposed truss layout and calculations.
Approve the design before manufacture.
Arrange packaged delivery to suit the site programme.
1

Project Review

Assess the roof geometry, structural supports, room-in-roof requirements and delivery constraints.

2

Quotation

Coordinate pricing for design, trusses, panels, treatment, delivery and any installation scope.

3

Detailed Design

Prepare the truss arrangement, girder details, bracing and structural calculations.

Wall plates installed and level
Dimensions checked before manufacture
Scaffolding and edge protection ready
Safe unloading area available
Crane or lifting equipment arranged
Temporary bracing materials available

Important Roof Truss Supply Information

Final truss type, span capacity, timber sizes, connector plates, bracing, restraint, loading and installation requirements depend on the project-specific design. Drawings should be checked and approved before manufacture. Trusses must not be cut, drilled or altered without written approval from the manufacturer or responsible structural designer. Supporting construction, unloading, temporary bracing, permanent restraint, lifting and safe erection remain subject to the agreed scope and contractor responsibilities. Any stated treatment guarantee or accelerated delivery period remains subject to the specialist supplier’s terms and confirmation. One Stop Consult provides consultancy, coordination and supply-chain support through specialist roof-truss partners.
