We build, we renovate,
we shape the wood.
From our workshop in the Hautes-Alpes, we cut the wood by hand, raise the roof structures, renovate the roofs. No subcontracting, no middlemen. From the first rafter to the last ridge nail, the same team is on your site.
Larch from the Hautes-Alpes, Douglas fir, spruce: species selected for their resistance to the mountain climate. We cut the rafters, assemble the mortise and tenon joints and raise the roof structures as we have done for generations in Briançon.
Every piece is sawn, machined and pre-assembled before reaching the site. Beams, purlins, rafters, curved pieces, barn doors: this is where the most ambitious projects come to life.
Full scribe, mortise and tenon, trusses, loft conversion. Solid timber selected to last generations.

A barn, a worn-out door, tired cladding. Within a few weeks: solid Douglas fir cladding, bespoke sliding door, meticulous finish.
No catalogue, no standard. We take the measurements, choose the timber together and craft a piece that fits seamlessly into the existing building. Here, a Douglas fir sliding barn door with an integrated pedestrian door.
Beyond the roof structure and the covering, we extend the wood into the building's interior: bespoke fit-outs, solid wood kitchens, integrated storage, staircases, balconies and timber decks with railings. Coherence from the rooftop down to the finishings, all crafted in the same workshop.
Till started working with wood at 16, in his father's workshop. Hand tools, journeyman tradition, the rigour of a craft learned young and passed down on site.
After those early training years, he travelled. Sites in Germany, in New Zealand, in Australia, in France: wherever there was timber to cut and roof structures to raise. Encounters, techniques, skills gathered along the way, from one continent to the next.
And then one day, the Hautes-Alpes. The larch trees, the valleys, the silence of the summits. He settled in Briançon and never left. Wood & Roof is that passion turned profession: a craftsman who knows timber because he has done nothing else, everywhere, since the beginning.
No sales team, no design office. You speak directly to the person who cuts the wood and raises the roof structure.
We build traditional mortise and tenon roof structures, industrial trusses, loft conversions and structural repairs. We work with larch, Douglas fir and spruce: species adapted to the Hautes-Alpes climate.
We work throughout the Briançonnais: Briançon, Serre-Chevalier, La Salle-les-Alpes, Chantemerle, Villeneuve, Saint-Chaffrey, L'Argentière-la-Bessée, Vallouise, Le Monêtier-les-Bains and as far as Guillestre. We do not go further south to Embrun or Gap: we stay focused on the upper Durance valley and the surrounding valleys.
The price depends on the area, the type of timber and the complexity of the project. On average, expect between €80 and €150 per m² for a traditional roof structure in the Hautes-Alpes. We provide a free, detailed quote after a site visit.
Larch is the most common choice at altitude: naturally weather-resistant, UV-resistant and requires no treatment. Douglas fir is an excellent alternative, softer but very durable. Spruce is more affordable but requires treatment.
Yes, we install sarking insulation (rigid panels above the rafters), wood fibre, cellulose wadding and HPV membranes. These solutions are particularly suited to the alpine climate with harsh winters.
