Hi Anette, I would suggest you take a look in the Find a Pro section of the site to find a recommended builder in your area. You can view their Houzz profile, read previous customer reviews and browse through their projects. You can filter by trade type on the left hand side. Best of luck with your roof terrace - sounds like a dream!

We are a garden design and construction practice based just outside London and deal with roof terraces - it just depends on what you are looking to achieve and maybe a discussion or site visit may be a start point?

Hi original poster! I know it’s 7 years since you asked this but would love to know what you did. We are not in a similar position with a similar looking house at the back but even steeper. I know that a full extension and lowering the internal floors would be ideal but we can’t afford that and need a 5-7 year fix. Please let us know what you decided and why ☺️

I think making the extension smaller will work, but you've thrown something extra in to the mix by way of a music room and a separate lounge. The designs above are good, but none of them have room for dining. ( except for Jonathan's ) I think as Jonathan suggests that you need a definitive list of items that you have to have, and items that you'd like if it were possible. I fear you will not fit all of them in and something will have to give. You barely have enough room for everything ( excluding the music room ) with a full width extension, if you make that smaller you will have to do without something. Maybe the office could treble up as the office / guest room / music room? Or dining could be dining and music? Therefore, a concept planner is a must. As you can see, it is possible to have the rooms opened up like this ( bearing in mind a supporting wall has been taken away to make extra room - so extra cost ) - however, the furniture placement isn't in my opinion favourable - so that's where a concept planner comes in - They know the sizes of the objects and what can fit in where. They can also 3d the plans so that you can have a look round them. Your plans are ok, but they haven't taken in to consideration the furniture and what you might be able to fit in the spaces, thus they don't work so well i'm afraid. This is the whole thing made smaller - As you see the downstairs loo went in favour of a hallway to the downstairs bathroom, the loo becomes a utility cupboard. You have a bench dining area with table etc This is it made a little larger:- The extra metre makes a big difference!

I'm thinking off white or a very light grey for the brickwork including the bricked up porch. Slate roof on the porch and wooden door to save money. Dark grey on the fence. And use planting to disguise the current render around the window and to add colour. Pub side, pleaching trees look like a great idea though would need to ensure they don't grow roots into the house. I feel so much more confident now. Thank you all.

Looks like a bodge job to me too! They should have used pedestal risers under the framework not piles of bricks. Not only would the pedestal risers support the framework securely, they would also be lightweight and spread the weight of the deck more evenly which would be better for a roof terrace. Do a google search for decking pedestals and you'll see what should be there. Good luck.
