Roof Trusses
At Calldene, we don’t just supply timber; we engineer the structural integrity of your build. Leveraging the combined expertise of our subsidiaries—Dover Trussed Roof Company and Triad Timber Components—we provide market-leading timber roof trusses designed for efficiency, sustainability, and ease of installation.
Whether you are a national housebuilder, a regional developer, or an architect working on a bespoke project, our trusses are precision-manufactured to your exact specifications.
Our roof trusses offer a modern, engineered alternative to traditional cut roofs. By utilising advanced design software and manufacturing technology at our Kent and Sussex facilities, we deliver a roofing solution that saves you time, money, and materials.
- Precision Manufacturing: Every truss is factory-built to exact tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit on-site every time.
- Material Efficiency: Our engineered designs use up to 40% less timber than traditional methods, reducing weight and environmental impact.
- Rapid Installation: Prefabricated components mean your roof structure can be craned into place and fixed in a fraction of the time required for traditional carpentry.or consultation.
Our Product Range:
- Standard Roof Trusses: The backbone of modern UK housing, our standard trusses (including Fink, Fan, and King Post profiles) are the most economical solution for pitched roofs.
- Best for: Standard residential housing, commercial buildings, and extensions.
- Key Feature: Flexible designs that accommodate water tanks, wiring, and insulation with ease.
- Attic Trusses (Room-in-Roof): Maximise the value of your development by turning empty roof voids into habitable living space. Our Attic Trusses are structurally engineered to carry floor loads, eliminating the need for complex steel beams or reinforced floor structures.
- Best for: Adding an extra bedroom, home office, or playroom without increasing the building’s footprint.
- Key Feature: Delivers a complete roof and floor structure in one installation.
- Specialist & Bespoke Trusses: When your project demands more than a standard roof line, our design team can engineer bespoke structural solutions to overcome height restrictions or create stunning architectural features.
- Scissor Trusses (Vaulted Ceilings): Designed to create a dramatic, airy feel, Scissor Trusses allow for a vaulted ceiling finish without the need for expensive structural ridge beams. The bottom chords cross in a scissor shape, sloping upwards to create a room that feels significantly larger and more open.
- Ideal for: Living rooms, master suites, and projects where you want a “cathedral” ceiling effect using standard plasterboard finishes.
- Raised Tie Trusses (Increased Headroom): Perfect for buildings with restricted ridge heights (such as permitted development extensions or garages), Raised Tie Trusses maximize internal headroom by positioning the bottom chord higher up the truss. This creates a “tray” or flat ceiling section well above the wall plate level.
- Ideal for: Rooms where external roof height is limited by planning but internal standing space is critical.
- Scissor Trusses (Vaulted Ceilings): Designed to create a dramatic, airy feel, Scissor Trusses allow for a vaulted ceiling finish without the need for expensive structural ridge beams. The bottom chords cross in a scissor shape, sloping upwards to create a room that feels significantly larger and more open.
- Feature Trusses: When the structure is the aesthetic, our Feature Trusses take centre stage. Designed to be left exposed, these trusses combine structural power with the visual warmth of high-quality timber.
- Best for: Vaulted ceilings, grand entrances, garden rooms, and heritage restorations.
