Noseall and catlad - Many thanks for your comments - certainly gives me something to think about - the largest gap is 2500mm so may need to look at a bigger beam. Just out of interest, what sort of price would I be looking at for a job like this?

Sorry Terry, just a play on words - i wanted to remove what is currently there and replace with a pitched roof - purely for cosmetic purposes.

Hi Freddie, Thanks for your constructive response, having spoken with neighbours who have done the work they have all said they 'just did it'. I will get some more photos taken, however if it proves a long drawn out process i'll just leave it, it is purely a cosmetic thing. Regards...

I dont intend to change anything, i intend to replace the lot to match the rest of the houses on the street all of which have been done, all of which have been done as a DIY project.

Hi there, No it's not on a semi, on a detached property, the gallows are 2500mm apart if that helps? Will have a pitched roof with tiles on it. Thanks

Its not been started yet. Does that mean 4x2 wouldn't be sufficient?

I would also download and run Spybot Search and Destroy - works well alongside Malware anti-malware bytes as already suggested. May also be worth running 'msconfig' to see what is running at start-up...let me know if you need any further assistance on this.

Would a 4x2 beam be sufficient for the front of the porch going across from the gallows?

Hi guys, I'm just about to embark on a new project, to replace the current flat roof porch with a pitched roof. I will be extended the pitched roof right across the house (the current flat roof goes across 3/4 of the way). I will be replacing the current gallows with larger, stronger ones...
