When you are adding an extension, a garage or a garden room, one of the practical questions is what kind of roof to put on it. Both flat and pitched roofs have their place, and the right answer depends on the building and the look you want.
Modern flat roofs have come a long way. With quality materials and proper installation, they are durable, tidy and cost effective, and they suit contemporary extensions where you want a clean, low profile. They also make rooflights and lantern windows straightforward, which is a lovely way to bring light into a kitchen or living space.
Pitched roofs match the traditional look of most homes and shed water quickly, which many homeowners prefer for the main house. They can also create useful roof space. The trade off is usually a little more height and cost.
The honest answer is that it depends on your building, your budget and the finish you are after. We are always happy to look at your project and explain the options clearly, so you can make the choice that is right for your home.
