Pitched roof over garage.

The simplest way to replace the flat garage roof with a pitched roof is to use prefabricated roof trusses. Some might assume that the same difficulty and expense face anyone adding a pitched roof to a garage. Start by putting a truss at the front end of the garage. The flat roof is also tired and in need of replacement as it s been repaired very badly in the past.

We are replacing the back wall corner as it is cracked from the bottom corner to the middle of the window. Roof pitch roof pitch refers to the amount of rise a roof has compared to the horizontal measurement of the roof called the run. Leaks and structural instability from water damage can ruin stored objects and the structure itself. We will remove the old roof and back wall then get a local bricky to replace the brick work.

However you will likely need to apply for planning permission as it is not a like for like replacement. The addition of a pitched roof to a flat roof garage can correct many problems found with a flat roofed structure. Most garages are not conditioned but they are used as storage space. This should be a straightforward process especially if it is a low pitch roof.
