Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with a few queries.
I want to remove the conservatory roof and small side windows that run on top of the high wall on the left back to the house (you cant see them on the photo) leaving the doors and adjacent windows in place see attached photos then build up the wall on the left a few courses up to door height and put a new quieter slate roof with hips to the front on vaulted timber rafters so I have a pitched ceiling inside. The conservatory roof sits on the wall on the right is the existing house wall how this is supported i cant tell. Could someone advise on the following
1) what size timbers would I need for the rafters and at what spacings between (building is 2870mm internal width) and pitch will be 25 degrees
2) how would I support the rafter ends on the right side that would in effect butt upto the existing house wall.
3) what would be used as a lintel over the double doors with the adjacent windows to the front elevation to support hipped roof as there will be a couple of courses of brick to go over these to doors (shown in black on marked up image) to make up the height once upvc conservatory roof and gable is removed.
4) how thick would the roof insulation need to be to meet current regs.
Thanks for any help
