Hi,
We have an extension off the back of our house, which is 3.51m x 4.8m
The roof of this extension was created into a balcony, but with 6ft high side walls to meet privacy requirements of the planning application.
We've never used this balcony and would like to add a roof to it and make it into a bedroom.
The downstairs part of the extension is breezeblock internal with external brick. The upper walls are double skinned brick and are about 5 or 6 courses lower than the existing roof line of the rest of the house.

Hopefully the existing roofline can be extended out and tied in with the existing roof?
So my question is -
Can this be used to support the roof, or would the wall need to be taken down and built back up with a breezeblock internal wall?
Is it a fairly easy job and does the rule of £900-1000 per sqM still apply if it's only the roof and a few courses of bricks / new windows apply?
thanks in advance!!
Jon
