This may be a lengthy post but I'm hoping for some advice and understanding before I decide what we are going to do. We have a small extension on the side of the house. A lean to which we use as a utility room. With the roof being polycarbonate it's freezing in winter and boiling in summer. The extension is all brick built and then the polycarbonate roof on top
Now I plan on having the roof replaced. Framed out, insulated, two velux windows and quite possibly lightweight roof tiles. I have a guy coming to look on Saturday. I know I can ask him hut I'm hoping someone on here can offer me some insight before the guy comes
With it being a polycarbonate roof I'm under the assumption it was built without planning permission. In fact when we bought the house nothing come up on any searches about that extension. So where do I stand with regards to having the roof done. Will I need a structural survey or foundations checking. I want the job doing to be able to use the room better but could it open a massive can of worms?
