What is a mono pitched roof?
I've been trying to understand what a mono pitched roof is as I've
seen this in a number planning applications? Is this another term for a 'lean to' roof? At present I have planning permission for a flat roof extension however I am considering changing this to a pitched roof. Is there a minimum slope (angle) for a pitched tiled roof? Thanks |

Is this another term for a 'lean to' roof? Thats my guess. At present I have planning permission for a flat roof extension however I am considering changing this to a pitched roof. Is there a minimum slope (angle) for a pitched tiled roof? Building control at your local authority would tell you. Maybe on their website. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

Thanks ================================== Not necessarily 'lean-to' (leaning against a wall) but a single slope: http://tinyurl.com/29bpqe When I needed information about pitch angle some years ago it appeared to vary from one place to another depending on local conditions. Your local building inspector will tell you what is an acceptable pitch in your area.

Yes - but a lean-to roof usually abuts a wall and is part of an outhouse or extension. A Mono-Pitch forms the main roof to a house. At present I have planning permission for a flat roof extension however I am considering changing this to a pitched roof. Is there a minimum slope (angle) for a pitched tiled roof? Using the correct tile (I forget the name at the moment) you can go as low as a10 degree pitch but the normal pitch is around 25 - 30 or so degrees. Hope this helps BRG |

Hope this helps BRG My plans have redland regent tiles spec'd for 12.5 degrees. They need a greater overlap than standard at that pitch. Simon. |
