    Repairing suspended floor

    Ok, well, if you don't want to put a new ledger board in ! ( 2 no. 7x2 nailed together would make a 7x4 ) Add some more fixings to what you have, you could also add some scraps of timber to the side of your joists, abutting the 3x2 so it can't physically rotate out again.

    If you have no time scale, then my estimates are irrelevant really, but I would think with 3 men you could install trusses, felt, baton and tile a simple roof in a week.

    Cut roof instead of trusses

    Forgetting maths and labour, it depends on how long you want the job to take, trusses 1 week and the cut roof 3 weeks.

    Cut roof instead of trusses

    Trusses all the way for me, simpler, quicker, and Velux or similar companies do skylights 55cm wide by different lengths, so no need to double up trusses.
