Choosing the right flat roof joists:
Span: Consider the distance between supporting walls or beams to determine the required joist span capacity.
Load: Account for the weight of the roof covering, insulation, any stored materials, and potential snow loads.
Budget: Timber joists are generally the most cost-effective option, while open web joists and concrete joists are more expensive.
Building regulations: Ensure your chosen joists comply with relevant UK building regulations for structural safety and thermal performance.
It's always recommended to consult a qualified structural engineer or builder for advice on selecting and installing the appropriate flat roof joists for your specific project. They can help you choose the right material, size, and spacing for your joists based on your specific needs and ensure the roof structure meets all necessary safety and building code requirements.

Imagine being the builders working on next door's extension, only to see Robin and Ed rock up to do the neighbours. Pressure on! 😆

@shandyooo

Would love to see the rest of that build. Like you said, very popular in this country. Many of us would like to know how you approach it all.

@wokelefty

Never a video where I don't learn anything. Awesome content as usual. 👍

@sygad1

Rumour has it that Robin cut the wood so straight that the laser level switched itself off

@thedropofahat

I'd work for you any day of the week. Your squad should feel privileged to work along side you.

@paulward9151

Would love to see the whole process of the roof construction as technical as possible... Is it a warm or cold roof?

@tedcopple101

Love the firring tip. Ill teach my apprentices that at college next week!

@user-zu6rf9bj1h

I was always told to do two inches to nothing on flat roofs , your four inch is much better, well done chippy 👍

@jlewis1688

I must be dreaming I'm sure I saw you do a video like this before cutting furring strips 😀

@adamuk73

Look forward to seeing the rest of the build 👍

@MK-yo4jn

Great work. You make it look so easy. I guess with this extension, they wouldn’t get the pitch for a pitched roof!!

@lntkernow

Rob I’m a month away from finishing my level 2, flat roof will be my final project (doing a cut with a hip atm), your vids are a massive help, cheers!
