Cost of a lean to / pitched roof

SaveMeCash555

I'm thinking of replacing an existing conservatory roof with a lean to / single pitch tiled roof.

Conservatory is 4m deep (distance out from house) and 7m wide.

Any rough cost guidance including plasterboard and plastering new ceiling.

Thanks in advance.

Before you do anything else you need to check the angle of the roof. This will determine what, if any, tiles are suitable. I was going to tile the roof of my workshop but the pitch is so shallow that I could not find a tile that could be used.

Pitch will work out as being approx 17 degrees.

Thanks

You should be ok with that. The rear pitch of my house roof is 17 degrees.

Great thanks.

Any idea on cost ?

Will the existing window frames put up with the extra weight?. If it is currently a polycarbonate roof you would need to check this.

Its currently a glass georgian style roof so considerable weight.
I've got an architect working out current loading vs that for a tiled roof with goal to get the tiled roof to match or better the glass.

Question is how much more heat will be retained and will it be economical to do it.

Thanks

Good question, what insulation are you thinking of?

Are we talking dwarf walls, are they insulated is there any insulation under the floor?

You'll need to get some calcs done.

The real money saving thing as to get a proper extension in the first place.
