4.0 out of 5 stars An informative resource., 23 Aug 2001

By	noel_sharpe@hotmail.com (West Sussex) - See all my reviews

Overall a good introduction to the subject, but if you are looking for a DIY guide to loft conversion, then look elsewhere. This book is packed with instructive diagrams throughout and gives a thorough overview of roof construction past and present. The only thing I feel could improve this book is a more thorough treatment of the loft conversion section.

4.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive guide, 23 Jan 2009

By	Foxylock (Ireland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I think this book is more suitable for the professional and student rather than homeowner. The reason I say this is that one could become bogged down in the intricacies of roof work and the illustrations provided are diagrams only no photos. But as a roof construction manual this is pretty good particularly from a truss roof point of view.

You will find in detail : Traditional cut roof construction, bolted truss roof construction, construction of trussed rafter roofs, truss plate systems, roof construction detailing, loft conversions, obligations and solutions. Its a fairly comprehensive view of roofing systems but good value for money.
