Description
Goss's Roofing Ready Reckoner provides essential information for traditional 'cut' roofs, including cutting angle and lengths, and design tables for timber sizing. The book also covers wall plate and gable strapping, wind bracing, truss clips, and other roofing metalwork, as well as tools, equipment, and health and safety matters. Detailed drawings for tiling, slating, and other roof coverings are included, with fixing requirements revised to BS 5534:2014. The fifth edition of the book also includes new chapters on engineered timber roofing components, solar panel fixing, and outbuilding roofs. This updated edition provides comprehensive guidance on the design and installation of roofs, including warm and cold roofs, ventilation, and insulation requirements.
