Thanks guys. I've got the builder coming over tomorrow for a 'progress' meeting. Really appreciate the guidance

Update - found the angle of the pitch on the drawings. 40° on the back and 35° on the front

Yuck! OK. Appreciate your thoughts thanks. One last question. Is there a building standard that dictates how many consecutive batten joints can be on the same rafter, or is it more of a guideline? It appears you shouldn't have more than 3 consecutive in a run of 12 battens? What is the...

@datarebal - Good question. I didn't think to measure the existing battens whilst i was up there. :( The ridge height will be the same.

Thanks for the feedback - I'm not sure of the exact tile type, they're 1950's if that helps narrow it down at all? The roofer himself told me it should be 4" max, but said he might need to go to 4.25" which is "OK". I went up the ladder after they left for a nose and the bottom battens I...

Afternoon all, First post here ..... hopefully someone can offer some advice please. We're having a 2 storey extension built where the brickwork is flush with the back of the existing house, and the brickwork on the front of the house is stepped in around 5' on the second storey to give some...
