Structural Roofing Carpentry in Wolverhampton
Structural Roofing Carpentry in Wolverhampton
Structural roofing carpentry is at the heart of what Bowen's Carpentry & Construction does. We build, alter and strengthen timber roof structures across Wolverhampton and the West Midlands.
From cutting and pitching a new roof on site to strengthening an existing one for a loft conversion, our work is about getting the structure right before the tiles go on.
We work on homes and commercial buildings, including new roofs on extensions, roof alterations and replacing roofs damaged by fire or storms.
With over 15 years' experience as carpenters, we understand how loads move through a roof and how to work safely at height, with scaffolding on all major roof work.
We work to engineers' calculations and approved plans where required, and coordinate with building control throughout.

Structural roofing carpentry FAQs
What is structural roofing carpentry?
It's the carpentry that forms the roof's structure: rafters, purlins, hips, valleys, ridges and the timbers that support them. It holds the roof up and carries the weight of the coverings, so it has to be designed and built properly.
Can you replace a fire-damaged roof?
Yes. We have replaced fire-damaged roofs, removing the damaged structure safely and building a new roof from scaffolding.
Do I need a structural engineer?
For many roof alterations, yes. Building control usually needs structural calculations for new beams and altered roof structures. We build to the engineer's design.
Planned properly
Roof structures need careful planning. We check the design, access, scaffolding and weather protection before work starts.

With over 15 years' experience as carpenters, structural roof work is what we do every day, from cut roofs to complex alterations.
Clear communication

Recent Loft Conversions & Roofing Work
Completed a tricky dormer extension shell including rsj, brickwork, carpentry, warm roof & roof window fitting. The work has been done to an immaculate standard & the team has surpassed my expectations on completion. Punctual, great communication, realistic deadline & real time problem solving. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brad & Ryan to anyone looking for a reliable carpentry & construction company.
Bradley and Warren did a really great job on our roof, we are really happy with the end result. They were always polite, friendly and on time. They spent time ensuring that the roof of the new extension was the same pitch as the house, so it all looks seamless. We would highly recommend!
I couldn't be any happier with the work was done today. It was harder then his usually door hanging, as lots of rough edging, so he was delayed but stayed on job till he was finished and done a wonderful job. Also very polite and I would recommend him 100%.
Bradley was great, he called me in the morning to let me know when he was going to arrive and turned up exactly when he said he would. He provided me with all the relevant site specific risk assessments and his work was perfect. He kept me informed from start to finish and cleaned up after himself which was a big help. Will definitely be using him again
