The first project planned is to remove and replace the roof with slates, replacing any necessary roof timbers, joists, purlins etc as needed. We have had 3 building contractors/roofers to inspect the interior roof void, and they all tell us that full timber renewal is not required, it's not as bad as first presumed! (thankfully)
The bathroom extension roof is a different matter..over several winters the flat felted roof has disintegrated, and has been covered with blackplastic sheeting as a temporary measure by present owner, with heavy rains this has totally failed and the bathroom ceiling has fallen in.
We have decided to replace the flat roof with an apex hipped roof joined to main roof at rear, covered in same slate tiles as main roof.
The kitchen window to rear will hopefully be replaced with new french doors, leading to a small outside private patio area...
It needs some vision, but we will eventually sit out here for breakfast in the sunshine!
