Hi,
We're getting a rear extension done on our house. It is in a T - Shape so that a pitched tile roof runs right along the back of the house (like a leant-to) and then a conservatory glass roof should protrude from the middle (in a T shape) at a 90 degree angle to the pitched tile roof.
This was all drawn and agreed, but now the project has started the builder says that he'd prefer we did tiled roof to start off with on the protruding section as well so that the valleys had tiles both sides, and he didn't have to join glass to tiling on a valley. He says he's worried about leaks or he "sees nothing but problems"
Does this make sense or is he just trying to save a bit of money ? We think we'd much rather have the join on the valley (in a V shape) as it gives us more glass/light/sky and will seem more natural.
If it is the case that this kind of roof is problematic are there any suggestions to help ?
thanks.
