Peter Ward | Raising the Roof - Orleton Manor roof removal - Part 1 @WarmDryHome | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated June 15 2023
After 12 months of work to rebuild the walls beneath the roof, Jake Oakley - the Lead Timber Framer on the Project - takes us through the plan to remove the 600 year old roof trusses to enable final structural timber frame repairs to the wallplates. The trusses will be themselves repaired and strengthened, before being lifted back into place on the roof. Most of the damage to the frame has been from water which soaked the timbers after the roof failed many years ago.
