Hey all,
We are planning to build a single storey extension (brick built, slate roof) which will adjoin with our neighbour's single storey garden building (brick built, tile roof). We need to use slates due to being in a conservation area, however the neighbour's building pre-dates the designation of the conservation area so uses tiles.
We have had architects drawings and planning approval agreed, but I've only now got to wondering how to join the roofs together. I've seen discussion of parapet walls, bonding gutters, coping walls but I am struggling to really grasp the key pros and cons. The bonding gutters seem the neatest to me, as I think having the flush roofline will look best but I think my neighbour prefers the idea of a wall between to give the delineation?
Thanks in advance for any comments!
