While teaching at my local technical college, I realised that the popular book of Roofing Ready Reckoner look-up tables had been in use for decades. I felt that it was surely time for a change, from the old and outdated ready reckoner table.

RoofJacker Development

Working together with my son in March 2011, the result was a spreadsheet that he soon coded into HTML. This in turn became a single page web app, which allows you to enter just 3 measurements and calculate all the dimensions you need to construct a roof.

Online Roofing Ready Reckoner

This online Roofing Ready Reckoner app, is a custom coded trigonometrical calculator. This roofing calculator will work on any device with web access and is designed to replace the unwieldy hard copy look-up tables that are also known as the Roofing Carpenter’s Ready Reckoners. These are used to calculate the various angles and measurements required when building a roof.
