Hmmm I was hoping I could have done it on the cheap as I haven't got the money to get a builder in. Being a k modern build the roof is the same construction as most modern houses, an apex roof which goes across the building width ways and the roof is made up of several prefabricated triangular wooden roof sections which face front to back. The window I wanted to put in would be only about 18inx15in. But if the brickwork above the hole for window wouldn't support itself without a lintel I'll have to just put up with no natural light. Thank you both for your advice, it confirmed what I had thought.
