I had mine done over winter. Over the Christmas break it snowed which means that when it melted the water got everywhere. Fortunately we were redecorating the hallway but would have been a bit annoying otherwise.
On the other hand, for downstairs it meant that the scaffolding in the back garden wasn't up when they'd want to use the garden during the summer.
Roof terrace should make a massive difference to the flat.

My concern was mainly the heating implications of having absolutely nothing above the living room/bedroom ceiling for a significant amount of time. I'm not particularly averse to the cold but don't fancy having to run the CH 24/7 to prevent the place from freezing. Am fully expecting the neighbour to object to the scaffolding, but they never use the side return anyway.
Also, realise we've discussed the merits of pediments before. I noticed on google maps that the construction of them differs quite significantly from street to street. Here they're the full height of the roof which hopefully makes the internal space more useable.

Just had a big PERMIT stamped on my loft conversion application. Seven increasingly stressful months since initiating this thing and not even close to starting yet.
Don't much fancy having a roof completely replaced over winter so probably put it on hold until next year. Way things have progressed so far, sorting out the legal faff will take that long anyway.
