    Flat roof to pitched roof, building notice advice.

    Thanks woody that is my line of thinking and sort of what the BCO sugested given that we are not building the extension just sinpley re-roofing. I think given my time frame, I could give a date for them to visit when we have the trusses up before we felt over, as they say you can book them in...

    Flat roof to pitched roof, building notice advice.

    Thanks for that. But as I said, supect it was due to you building from new the extension. Where you working under a building notice or full plans? We will be using building notice which does NOT require plans. SO back to my orginal question, at what stage would the inspector...

    Flat roof to pitched roof, building notice advice.

    Arg I see, approval to the truss makers not building regs. Yes, they have told me they will come to site (chargeable £50), but for £50 I am happy with that, and get full spec drawing /loads etcs. Based on my basic (but fairly accurate) measurements the hip trusses are about £300, but I...

    Flat roof to pitched roof, building notice advice.

    But I thought the whole point of a building notice is plans are not required? I think yours was different as you where building new. Ours is already there, so been classed as reroof/insulation improvement. Yes we are also using a specialist truss manufacturing company that will also come...

    Flat roof to pitched roof, building notice advice.

    low pitch, How do I roof this?????

    Thanks Joe. We are realy pleased and the roof dome will help as the current lean-to area could be quite dark as it would in effect be "inside" with no direct light. I know it is a flat roof section, but I see this as more benift than a 100% flat roof extension. For the flat roof section...

    low pitch, How do I roof this?????

    We just don’t want a flat roof, they look rubbish! Is a practice to do a compromise? I.e a flat middle section (sort of the area of the current lean-to roof, but then pitching down as hips from there? This will then give from ground level the facing slope of tiles , but at a pitch of about...
