Thanks Tic, it’s all plastered & painted so not sure if that helps

Presume adding a dormer poses the same problem of cutting through?

Is it possible to fit windows between the rafters? That’s if there are any that slim! I really can’t understand why they had attic room in the roof trusses but no windows

Oh dear, that wasn’t the answer I was hoping for. No deep pockets! Where do I go from here? Thanks for the quick response

Hi, I would like a large roof window or balcony style roof window installed. My question is - is this possible with a truss roof (attic/room in the roof trusses) The previous owners only installed 1 tiny roof window so it is very dark and unusable as a room. He said they are at 400 centres...

The issue is it is essentially one wall but 2 different rooms/colours. I’m looking for ideas how to sub divide this tastefully for when the door is open

Similar to this photo I found online. Imagine when the door is open/in the pocket there is absolutely no frame/architrave etc

hi all, I have a pocket door that only allows for architrave up one side & over the top of the door (L shape). There is no frame work at all on the wall which the door closes/butts up to. It is just bare wall. My issue is how do I separate the 2 rooms (bathroom & hall) seens as there is no...

What is best to waterproof over chalk paint? I have converted an old set of drawers into a sink vanity & painted with chalk spray paint. But now need some water resistance to be able to put toothbrush holder/soap etc on there & wipe it clean. When I first researched this, yacht gloss was...

Thanks for such a detailed response. I just presumed glass roof = too hot in Summer & too cold in Winter, like an old conservatory I had. We already have UFH & cavity walls. I hear you that the u value is better on a standard roof, but what does this mean in reality? Higher heating bills...

Thanks Notch, there’s no magic solution then!! Back to the roof lanterns.. Are these essentially a conservatory roof - cold in winter & hot in the Summer? How do these compare to a standard insulated pitched roof? Thanks again

Min pitch for tiles is 22.5deg Like Woody said I need to get some proper plans drawn up but before I spend/waste any more money I just want to know what my options are. 1. If the roof was to be ‘lowered’ - dismantled & put back together at a lower pitch of say 23deg would this give any view...

What if I were to ‘drop’ the pitch lower, to say 20-23deg. What height would this be internally? Would this be below the windows? What sort of cost to do this? The current pitch is 30deg

Ok, so M style still doesn’t solve the problem I guess at 25 deg? And I’m guessing internally it wouldn’t be a great look either. Damn I’m running out of options. Would you just leave it & put up with it - internally it’s probably the best effect I’m going to get & it is quite vaulted. But the...

Or even an ‘M’ shaped roof - what sort of pitch could be achieved over 9m wide?

If I was to utilise existing materials (if even possible?) could I have the pitch lowered? At the highest point it’s 1.1m to highest point of ceiling. I just can’t imagine a roof lantern in there, they seem conservatory like to me apologies

During construction

I had a single storey extension built 2 years ago. Full width of back of house 9m wide x 5m out. There’s a huge steel supporting the 1st floor of the house on pillars, a ridge steel on pillars & then another steel on the external wall above the bifolds. it’s a dual pitch cut roof with rafters...

Thanks, I’ve done a bit of maths since & sussed a pattern. Just one more question - are thresholds required if I’m running the same floor throughout? Longest run is 12m. Thanks again

Hi, I’m after some advice & tips on laying 1800mm lengths of engineered wood flooring that is click system. I can cut it but the cut end would have to be laid against the wall, once cut it cannot be joined into the next length. I’ve done a bit of reading & watched some you tube videos, lots of...
