Hi
Looking for a bit of advice before I call out roofing companies etc.
I have a double garage and would like to utilise the roof space above for a games room or office with a staircase rather than hatch opening.
Currently the roof is trussed and I would like to remove the trusses and add steels with a new floor.
Will the roof need to come off or can I add steels and then remove the trusses. I would like to lower the floor approx 700mm to give a bit more head space upstairs so the new floor wouldn't need to be supported form the roof.
Plan is (i have no idea if doable) Add steels and joists/hangers 700mm lower than original floor to hold a new floor, add more beams/structure to the roof and then remove the trusses.
So ideally I want to achieve this....
The garage is 7m x 6.5m and detatched from the house.
I am hoping to get panning permission to build an extension to the house that joins to the garage allowing access up to the games room from the house via stairs and to the garage by a door.
Any help appreciated. If possible what would the approx cost be to achieve this in terms of materials and time
Thanks
