Loft Conversion in London & Essex Hand cut roofs

Hand cut roofs are roofing systems that are manually cut and shaped on-site by skilled roofers, rather than being pre-fabricated in a factory. This traditional method of roofing has been used for centuries and is still used today in many countries, including the UK and US.

Advantages of Hand cut roofs

  • Customisation: The main advantage of hand cut roofs is their ability to be customised to the specific needs of a building. Roofers can easily adjust the shape, size, and pitch of the roof to fit the building’s design, making it a versatile option for unique or irregularly shaped buildings.
  • Durability: Hand cut roofs are known for their durability, as they are made using high-quality materials and built to last. The roofs are also designed to withstand the elements, including heavy rain, wind, and snow.
  • Aesthetic appeal: Hand cut roofs can add an attractive and unique look to a building. With the option to customise the roof’s shape and design, a hand cut roof can add character and charm to a building, making it stand out from others in the area.
  • Reduced waste: When a hand cut roof is installed, the roofing material is cut to the exact size and shape needed, reducing waste and making it more environmentally friendly.

Disadvantages of Hand cut roofs

  • Cost: Hand cut roofs can be more expensive than pre-fabricated roofs, as the process is more time-consuming and requires skilled labor.
  • Time: Installing a hand cut roof takes longer than installing a pre-fabricated roof, as each piece must be manually cut and fitted on-site.
  • Labor-intensive: Hand cut roofs are more labor-intensive than pre-fabricated roofs, as they require skilled roofers to do the work. This means that it may be harder to find roofers with the necessary skills to install a hand cut roof.

Hand cut roofs Versatile, durable, and aesthetic

Hand cut roofs are a traditional roofing method that offer versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal. While they can be more expensive and time-consuming to install, the end result is a unique and long-lasting roof that can add value to a building. If you’re considering a hand cut roof, be sure to hire a skilled roofer to ensure a high-quality installation.

B&G lots were recommended by a structural engineer. I was about to make a decision to go with another contractor . As a last and final qoute I contacted B&G lords George . From start to finish George worked with me throughout the project.. the time frame was in fact very impressive as they delivered the project within the time agreed. I found the cost was very reasonable and George supported me with other additional work that was outside the main project. I found both George and Ben to be very reliable, responsive to my requirements. They both make a terrific team they are good at keeping that working harmony when in stressful situations. I might have another project where an extension is needed and I would definitely reach out the B&G lofts . I would like to thank them and also a huge shout out to Stephen their electrician who is so wonderfully helpful.!!!!!!!!

I’ve recently had the pleasure of having B&G complete an extensive rear extension. From the first time meeting them, to the day they left I couldn’t be happier. They immediately made me feel confident that they knew exactly what they were talking about and were happy to take calls before the job had even started to answer any questions I had, even popping round to show me in person when I wasn’t quite sure about something. That carried on throughout the job, when I was unsure about something, Ben took the time to show me either why it had to stay the same or, if it could change, what would be the best way to do it and what the ramifications would be. While never making me feel like I was causing him problems. He was on site all day, everyday and ensured everything was tidy before he left. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for any further building work and would absolutely recommend them to anyone that asked.

We could not be happier with the work of B&G Lofts who recently completed a considerable home extension project at our house. George oversaw the project but Ben was always on hand to ensure everything went to plan. George’s exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail have transformed our house. His expertise and dedication to delivering outstanding results made the entire process seamless and stress-free from start to finish, effortlessly enhancing our space, blending functionality and aesthetics. Throughout the project, George maintained open lines of communication, keeping us informed every step of the way. His reliability and commitment to meeting deadlines were impressive, ensuring the project was completed on time. I wholeheartedly recommend B&G for anyone seeking exceptional craftsmanship and unparalleled customer service.

I used B&G lofts a couple of months ago for a loft conversion. Both Ben and George were really helpful, talking us through the whole process and recommending different options when needed. They did a great job, really professional and our new space looks amazing! I wouldn't hesitate in using them again!

George and his team built a Garden room/office for me. The weather was horrific, snow and rain, how ever they turned up every day and built me an incredible office. The building was perfect and every time I had a concern or issue they always addressed it with no issues whatsoever. Would highly recommend George and his team.

Firstly B&G Lofts was very competitive with their pricing, from day one the lads was very reliable and all works was started on time and completed to schedule, we was constantly updated throughout, Both Ben and George would always make sure everything was ready for other trades coming in, they kept everything clean and tidy which made our lives easier. We have already recommended B&G Lofts to others.
