@Dazaa I'll be definitely using some of that - I'll be also be using that in the main house.
So here's a picture of the type of damage that roof has:

So it seems that wooden beams are actually in quite good condition, but on top of that there is bad layer of felt. Once I get permission I'll take of the tiles and remove the felt. Then assess the situation of the beams and treat them.
Another query is whether to include the tiles? It'll be much easier and more practical for me to just not include them but aesthetically the tiles would be nice.
As you can see in this photo there is skylight:

It would be very easy for me to just remove it and put a roof over it but then again natural light is nice. So is there any easy way to do this or would it be much easier for me to get somebody in?
Meanwhile, I've made so progress of cleaning up inside:

It's not actually a bad table - it's secured to the ground and it's actually quite heavy duty.
Hopefully should have reply from the conservation dudes by next weekend.
