Hi, we have a detached house which had a double story extension consisting of a double garage with room over capped of with a flat roof. Just to make it clearer the flat roof is raised about 3 to 4ft over the ceiling height and has trusses.
We would like to have a skylight fitted in the flat roof and from what I have read the insulation would have to be increased up to current standards as we would need building regs for the structural aspect.
Now the question is: Is this correct and if so would this apply to the whole of the building or just the loft space above the extension? (The loft of the main house is separate)
Many thanks.
