  • Does anyone have any experience of repitching/replacing a roof?

    My partner and I are very interested in the house pictured below, but the upstairs headroom is not hugely friendly to people over six foot.

    The house is semi-detached and the otherwise identical house has a much steeper pitch to the roof so therefore much better headroom. How big a job is this, we're imagining large...

  • From what I can see
    2 dormers
    1 velux
    Party wall
    Two chimneys
    So you’d probably need a party wall consultant, maybe a structural engineer and architect. I don’t have experience but I wouldn’t say it seemed straightforward or cheap. Easiest would be to get a local building firm to give an estimate

  • maybe a structural engineer and architect

    I'd think definitely a structural engineer and architect, and a builder that knows how to either build with (pre-) Georgian stone, or with modern materials on top of old, without making it look like a Frankenstein mess (like that cement rendered crack house extension).
