i have a roughly 3 x 5m pitched roof kitchen extension. alongside it is a flat roof garage about the same size. i've already been given advice here about a few things re this rebuild, thanks (noseall and co).
i'd like to have a single (even) pitch roof over both. is it likely assuming no complications that the existing pitch roof can simply be added to, making it higher and wider? or does a pitch roof have to have joists which span the width in one piece? i.e. be built entirely from new joists and rafters?
the wall between the two buildings is not being removed so the wall plate there stays.
i'm not doing it myself obviously but just wondering about various suggestions i've been given.
