    You could also measure the roof height using a laser level. They come with long distance sensors so you can measure up to 30m, 50m or even further away. I'm sure Robin has one. But at the same time he doesn't need it. Does he.

    Just think, if you'd paid some 'proper' builders to come in and do it, that would have a been a 2 week job and you'd spend the next week cleaning up their mess!
