Roof Intersections - Pitched roof intersection
Depending on your vision for your completed extension, there a number of ways to incorporate you existing roof line into your new extension. The most common approach is modifying the existing roof line to tie in with the new, therefore creating a seamless transition. One of the only hurdles we face is accounting for either roof tile availability, and colour matching due to colour fading.
Below is the scope of works involved in removing required existing roof framing and roof cover section (including disposal) and preparing for the intersection of the new extensions’ roof structure. (Includes Approx. pricing)

+ Removal of: - Metal or Timber Fascia and eaves (including lining and framing if applicable)*- Roof covering by hand- Gutters and Downpipes- Roof framing that does not comply with AS1684 and/or will interfere with new roof framing.
* Approximately one third of all homes in Australia contain asbestos products. If your house was built before 1990, it is likely that it would have some asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos or asbestos-containing materials could be found in the following areas:• roofing and gutters• gables and eaves• walls• vinyl, carpet and tile underlay• Lining behind wall tiles• fencing• sheds• splashbacks in wet areas• some window putty• expansion joints• packing under beams + Depending on the location of your extension in relation to your existing property, the framing requirements to prepare the existing framing to tie into the new extension framing can vary. In the example of the downloadable plan (AVAILABLE HERE) above, the roof line requires a new Valley rafter to be installed, new structural Strutting beams (As Per Engineers specifications), and the ridge to intersect with the existing roof lines Hip Rafter. Special care should be taken to ensure all the new roof framing is tied down in compliance with AS1684 and engineers specifications.
