Yes the message is getting thru i will probably change the window for one with 300mm less height that will give me plenty of space for a warm roof Thanks all

Sloping the roof towards the house ? I thought that would cause more problems than my bloody window

Do you hate my window ? Lol it lets a nice bit of light to the hallway and stairwell

What do you mean by counter batten , I'm not good with roofing I am more groundwork biased

I know it should be vented back to front ideally but would a few pipe type vents on the roof do the job ?

I spoke to a labc inspector today where I work he said go with a cold roof with possibly 50mm insulation on top of the deck he recommended felt over rubber Edpm which I was going for ? I thought the rubber would be better ? The inspector said I would need to retain a air void with the cold roof...

Rough sketch added is this feasible as I really wanted to leave the window alone If not it will have to be cold deck

From door head there is currently about 225mm to ceiling the depth of the new extension will be no more than 3250mm but I may bring it in to 3000mm if it keeps the joist size down

Basically I have 525mm from existing lintel to the window , so when I build up and have new doors I think my cavity lintel will be about 225mm high leaving me 300mm and 150mm will be taken by joist height leaving only 150 for insulation and board/pitch, that's why I thought having the Lintel...

Thanks for the reply I am not to concerned with the lower ceiling height I wanted to avoid adjusting the window if possible,in regards to a cold roof I did consider it but i thought a warm roof would be better

Hi I am planning on a single storey rear extension filling in the L shape quite straight forward with a flat roof but the problem is I have a low window for the stairwell in the corner which restricts how I build the warm flat roof I planned , can I hang the roof joists lower to keep the deck...
