Cost: dormer construction or renovation
Compare a complete dormer, not only its window. Design, structure, its own roof, sides, junctions, insulation and finishes should be identifiable. Added floor area or financial return cannot be inferred from a generic price per dormer.

Detail the constructed volume
Separate design, frame, dormer roof, cheeks, window and finishes. Compare dimensions and materials with equivalent insulation and connection work.
Identify work on the existing roof
List covering removal, frame alterations, temporary support and reinstatement. Agree procedures for hidden defects and additional work.
Include site costs
Request access, lifting, protection, waste and handover. Check included procedures and design. Distinguish full loft conversion from dormer-only work.

Frequently asked questions
How much floor area will I gain?
Request dimensioned drawings after work and finishes. No standard gain applies to every roof.
Does a dormer simply replace a roof window?
The change can affect volume, structure and procedures. Assess the full project before comparison.
Does a prefabricated dormer avoid design work?
No. Integration, supports, connections and local rules still need checking.
Is a dormer enough to create a bedroom?
No. It does not alone establish that the loft is suitable for habitation.
