    Is it just to stop the standing water accumulating on it? I would glue a second skin of UV stabilise PVC cladding over the top and forget about it reroofing and reframing is a massive job I wouldnt draw it on myself unless tgeres been water ingress and I wouldn't seek to reuse the same materials either they're ****e.

    Thanks for the reply, This friend intends to replace the entire roof structure and I'd be very confident this fellow could do an amazing job , as I've seem some amazing projects he's carried out before. Still, any tips on sourceing material would be a help. Thanks.

    If it aint broke don't fix it. Un less there is a strong reason to do it leave it alone.
