Question

Is it possible to change a flat roof to a pitch roof on a single storey extension?

Martin · Answer

Yeah but it takes a lot of time & moneyi take it it must be leaking

Fred · Answer

Yes no problem to do that as long the sub structure can cope with extra weight of tiles

Conner · Answer

hi yes its possible but there is a few vairables that could make it difficult such as location semi detached or enclosed but very possible lowest pitch would be 15.
 degrees so would require some joinery work to joists aswell 
 any good roofer should have experience with that

Yes depending on your degree of height range of the surrounding areas

Depends on height etc, and crating the pitch ! 
Example- in creating the pitch would the top of the roof land on any windows above ? 
But it is something that might be very possible/ we have done several over the years.

Sean · Answer

yes its possible the most important issue is the Pitch making sure that the tiles you choose are designed for low pitched roofs

James · Answer

It is ok to do so if you r with in the lines to replace to the highest point make sure leave room from i.e lead work  as I would be tilting on top off it

Chris · Answer

Yes it is not hard to change to a pitched roof from a flat roof and it will have a longer guarantee just make sure that the tiles you use are a adequate weight for the beams
