Morning,
We are extending the roof on our semi so it covers an existing flat roof, at the same time we are converting the loft and having a dormer on the back like this:
The plans we had drawn are like this:
Sorry about the reflections.
My questions are:
Would a professional roofer remove the old hip from the rear and leave the front one there or remove both?
Would you remove the purlin on the front and fit a wider one onto brickwork each side rather than joining another on the existing 4x4 timber structural post?
Could you use a bigger rafter and do away with the purlins altogether?
How would the new ridge beam RSJ connect/sit at the party wall/chimney end?
Would anyone local to Rochdale like to quote me for the roof work?
Thanks
