Thanks Marty, sounds like a logical approach. Out of interest, how would you deal with the right hand purlin where it sits very close to the chimney? I assume there wouldn’t be room for the timber below the purlin when following the load path of the purlin

So essentially like a gallow bracket on the wall underneath the timber? Do you think there’s any risk that actually connecting the timber to the wall could damage the party wall as the roof structure expands and contracts through heating cooling etc?

Sorry if it’s difficult to explain, can you help me understand what the cantilever design would be in this case/how it would work to hold the roof up securely? No knowledge of this stuff and no idea how it would work!

2x4 I believe the purlins are. I believe that there are 2 struts on each purlin, staggered. So the 2nd strut on the right hand side purlin in the image is behind the camera and you can just see the second strut on the left hand side purlin in the bottom left of the image.
