Title: Garage Roof ??
Post by: lyndon on May 26, 2007, 22:17:06: Moving house in July. My new pad has a garage in the rear garden and I plan to turn it into 1/4 utility room and 3/4 tackle room. I am going to be brickingh the garage door up and putting a UPVC unit in for added security. The current roof is a flat style roof which unusually pitches from each end into the middle with a central gully which then runs into a down pipe inside the garage and into a drain in the floor. Never seen one of these before. How much would it cost me to have this changed into a nice tiled pitched roof so it looks nicer and gives me storage space in the eves?.

Any builder/roofers out there help me budget please. Its an average size single garage.

For an accurate cost of the materials phone a few building suppliers / roof truss manufacturers with the sizes and they'll work out what materials you need and give you a cost. A builder will get materials for about 30% less than the figure you get. 2 people should do the full job in 1 day, so find out what the going rate for builders is in the area.

If the trusses come ready assembled 1 day it's only a garage [Edited]. 2 of us have stripped, felted and tiled a house roof in 2 days
