Comments (2)Often with narrow frontages and narrow blocks it is actually quite hard to see the roof at the rear. If this is the case then I would select Surfmist as its great at reflecting heat, and the darker colours absorb more heat. There is no rule that says that your gutters and fascias which will probably be more visible need to match the roof colour, and I would anticipate that you would be renewing all of these at the same time. If you posted your elevations it would be easier to understand how the new roof relates to the existing structure.

Comments (3)Large steel framed windows don't do much for insulation. They will stop the wind but the metal frames transfer the temperature. I think that you risk making it feel too enclosed, and making the room behind the bi-fold doors feel even darker and more internal. I would be looking at opening it up, and removing the rendered blue board and aiming for a verandah feel, rather than a carpark aesthetic.

Comments (3)usually the biggest set back is to the front of the house (not a small open porch area) and the garage usually has to be further back but the actual amount can differ in different areas..a local professional would know all this information immediately .. a rear extension can vary depending on how close the neighbours are on all sides, how big the extension will be, what shaope is it (eg a long narrow extension across the whole of the house or a square extension that almost reaches the back fence?) is it all inside space and/or include open areas, how much back garden will be left over and how much of the whole block the old house plus extension will use..we usually make a rough plan of what we think would be ideal, invite comment from the neighbours and make an appointment to discuss with local council building inspector and usually received useful advice as long as we make a dummy development application to take with us so that we have all the basic information they need including a copy of original house plans and a scale drawing of the proposal (including proposed setbacks) They can't/won't give you a final answer until they receive a formal application but at least they should help you avoid the impossible...See MoreKirby Moroney
