What is a hand-cut roof, and how is it different from trusses?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>hand-cut roof<\/strong> is built <strong>on-site<\/strong> using individual timber beams, allowing for <strong>greater design flexibility<\/strong> and <strong>stronger structural support<\/strong>. Prefabricated trusses, on the other hand, are factory-made and may not always fit unique roof shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Do I need planning permission for a new roof?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are <strong>replacing or refurbishing a roof<\/strong> within its existing structure, you may not need planning permission. However, if you are making <strong>significant alterations<\/strong>, such as changing the height or pitch, you may require approval. Our team can advise on <strong>planning regulations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. How long does it take to install a hand-cut roof?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The timeframe depends on the <strong>size and complexity of the roof structure<\/strong>. A <strong>standard residential roof<\/strong> typically takes <strong>2-4 weeks<\/strong>, while <strong>larger or more intricate designs<\/strong> may take longer. We provide a <strong>detailed project timeline before starting work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get a Free Hand-Cut Roof Consultation Today<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a <strong>custom-built hand-cut roof<\/strong> for a <strong>new build, extension, or refurbishment<\/strong> in <strong>Cambridge, Newmarket, Ely, or surrounding areas<\/strong>, <strong>G.P.
