cost of putting a slate roof on a conservatory and extending the lounge !

hello,

i live in a bungalow with a conservatory on the back. i want to build up the conservatory and put a slate roof on in line with the house ( so the ceiling is continuous in the lounge) and then extend the lounge.

Does any one have any idea of how much this will cost me, :confused:

thank you

    are you even sure you can do this?
    the extra wood supports and real slate will weigh a fair bit and im not sure the (pvc?) conservatory will take the extra weight.

    as a very rough guide the cost will be 5k using real slates.
    (without knowing the size).
    Get some gorm.

    hi and thanks for the reply.

    i am sorry i didnt explain myself well, I intend to brick up the upvc windows and put just one in for the lounge so it looks like it has always been their and has never been a conservatory. therefore the bricks will hold the weight of the slate roof. The conservatory is 14 foot by 7 foot and stretches the length of the back of the bungalow accross the lounge and bedroom,

    I want to extend the longe and bedroom as the bungalow is very very small. :rolleyes:
