We are in the process of having a garden room built however, the builder has decided to jump ship and left us with a half finished build so we have decided to try and finish what we can ourselves. We are currently trying to make the building water tight. There is no overhang to the roof but we would like one. How do we go about making an overhang as there are no protruding roof joists. We are planning on doing a felt roof. Any advice greatly appreciated!

Got some pics of what you have so far? Not ones taken in the dark.
As long as the joist ends haven't been closed in with another timber, just fix some knock-on pieces to the sides of the joists, extending as far as you desire.
When I did mine, I just used what ever length of timber was available and fitted them whole, apart from a cut at the very ends to create a suitable (modest) angle...

Are you prone to flooding?
Anyhoo, no one can actually see because it's all tarped up, lol. Bizarre that the roof structure is in place, without ANY overhang. As I said previously, you can add an overhang as long as you secure it well to the existing roof joists.
