February 17, 20179 yr Hi all Looking forward to spending some time round the place. I am starting a renovation project involving new gable to the front & back of the house, new floor to ceiling windows, reroofing and then rendering. I have a great team of separate tradesmen except fell at the first hurdle with an error on the now passed groundworks! I will post the question in the planning permission and building regs as I think that’s where is should go. Tim
February 17, 20179 yr Welcome. Our conversion has gables to front and back of a former bungalow. A huge amount of extra space over hips.
February 17, 20179 yr Author Thank you I bet it looks great, I’m going to post my question. Any help is appreciated.
February 18, 20179 yr It is a bit early to say it to this detail, but perhaps my greatest annoyance is the changed flow to the drainage. We have a large roof area - something like 100 sqm, and where it runs down the valleys from the now high roof it scoots over the edge of the guttering in a rainstorm. Not enough to be a problem, but it means i have to pay attention to keeping gutters clear. Do not underspecify gutters etc. Ferdinand
