    Could someone please help us? We desperately need a roof on a small 3m x 7m extension. We have been left with a foundation and the completed blockwork, but no roof. It will be a lean to roof which will have a 15 degree pitch, using Easy Slates. The flashing will need to go under the 2 upstairs windows plastic cills, this will leave us 100mm for the flashing upstand before it meets the slates (as recommended by buiding regs). The lean to will join onto a side off shoot which has a pitched roof. The lean to roof will be slate and have 3 large velux windows. How much approximately would this cost please? Could we do it ourselves? Thanks in advance.

    Depending where you are in the country, I'd imagine the labour cost for a carpenter to build it and a roofer to cover it to be around £1500, possibly £2000. Whether it could be done by yourselves or not depends on how handy you are, and what tools you possess.

    What do you think The cost of the materials might be approximately please? 3m x 7m. Joists, double battons, membrane, marine ply, slates, wall fixings(?), flashing, 3 velux windows 1m x 1m. Just a rough idea would be so helpful please.

    Easily double my guess at £1500 labour charge, possibly more.
