Hi everyone,
I'm in the middle of a self build rear extension. It's a single storey 2.6 x 7.3m ground floor kitchen extension which is the same width as existing detached property.
I've built up as far as wall plate height and almost ready to set wall plate (100mm x 75mm) as recommended by BCO.
My question is with regards to creating the verge as i've never been quite sure on the detail of how these are created. Some verges I've seen (on neighbours extension) have a sort of barge board approx 7x2''. Others i've seen protrude from the gable wall with a soffit and fascia type arrangement. If i wanted to achieve the latter would i need to allow for the wall plate to extend beyond the gable end walls to accept some kind of flying rafter? The walls are 300mm wide full fill cavity, roof pitch approx 21 deg and plan on using Sandtoft 20/20 tiles - if that's relevant?
Apologies if I've not included enough detail - first post and as you might have guessed i'm not a roofer / builder.
Any advice much appreciated.
