New-Build Timber Frames and Roofing in St Neots
Timber frames and roofing for seven new-build homes in St Neots, completed in May 2025. Every photo below was taken on site by our team.
The job
Not every job is a re-roof. In St Neots our team built the timber frames and the roofs for seven new-build homes.
The roofs were finished in over 500 square metres of Marley clay peg tiles, a traditional small-format clay tile that gives a roof real character. The ridges were finished with a dry ridge system, while the valleys and gable ends were done with traditional cement work.

Do you work for developers on new builds?
Yes. On this St Neots site we built the timber frames and the roofs for seven new homes.
What are clay peg tiles?
Small, traditional clay roof tiles hung on battens. They weather beautifully and give a roof a handmade, characterful look. Marley clay peg tiles were used here.
What is the difference between dry ridge and cement work?
A dry ridge fixes the ridge tiles mechanically, with no mortar to crack. Traditional cement work beds the tiles in mortar. On this job the ridges were dry fixed and the valleys and gable ends were finished in traditional cement work.
