The two darker coloured roof timbers in the centre were the original roof. The black felt triangle shows the original roof shape. The new white felt shows the extension of each side of the roof to form two gable ends. 

 

View to the end of one gable end with the new roof timbers over head forming the rear flat-roof dormer. The insulation here is "celotex" with 100mm thickness in the low level supporting wall and side wall, then 50mm thickness in between the sloping roof-timbers and 70mm thickness over the top of this to make up the required thickness whilst still providing a 50mm gap to the rear for ventilation purposes
This is the rear main bedroom built over the top of the existing extension to the bungalow. It is a "Velux" type conversion hence the sloping roof to both sides. This room has just been insulated and plaster-boarded and is now ready for plastering.

 

The first front bedroom has now been plastered and is ready for the fitting of the skirting boards, architraves, lights, sockets and radiator The staircase has also been installed. This one has a "kite winder" at the top and bottom. The handrails and spindles are put on towards the end once the loft has been plastered.
Skirtings, Architraves, handrails and spindles are now installed in the new hallway. The bathroom is prepared for the new shower tray and sanitary-ware. The second front bedroom has now been plastered and is ready for the fitting of the skirting boards, architraves, lights, sockets and radiator
The skirting and architrave have now been installed together with the new radiators. A small wardrobe was also constructed with shelving for the customer. The bathroom has now been completely tiled for the customer with ceramic tiles and the sanitary-ware has also been fitted. The toilet has been fitted and the waste pipe has been boxed in ready for tiling

The customer also required hand made wardrobes to be fitted during the construction with hanging rails and shelving. The doors are installed and hand cut to suit the shape of the wardrobe and roof line. This was finished in simple melamine that requires no further painting. They could also bee constructed in MDF - for painting any colour or even a Teak or Oak finish as required.  The staircase has now been carpeted and decorated
Rear view shows the stepped apex roof constructed over the top of the existing single storey extension with a rendered finish, plus the dormer to the left hand side. The front view of the property which was converted from "hipped" sides out to gable ends. By using the unused old tiles from the rear the roof looks like it was always there!
