There are many types of dormer roof, the most popular are gable-fronted dormers, and flat roof dormers.  We've been building all types of dormers and transforming interior roof spaces since 1990.

Not to be confused with velux windows, a dormer roof will add (sometimes a lot) of space to the interior.  As you'll see from the video, Phil was able to convert a single loft bedroom into two bedrooms with a bath and toilet.

Is it possible on your property?

It will depend on what type of roof frame your property has. Newer truss framed roofs don't usually have any space to add a dormer, while a traditional stick-framed roof with an attic can almost always accommodate the addition of a dormer roof.  The vast majority of roofs we see can accommodate a dormer, but if you're in doubt give us a call and we'll pop out and take a look.

Advantages of a dormer roof.

Apart from the fact that one or more dormers will look great from the outside and positively spruce up an otherwise 'ordinary' looking home, they will look great from the inside too! They're an investment because they will add value if you should ever decide to sell.  In addition to that, a dormer will..

• Add natural light
• Improve ventilation
• Provide more room and headspace
• Provide a new emergency exit.

Every dormer roof is different, please do call us with any questions and we'll be happy to discuss dormer roofs with you, and it will cost nothing for us to come and give advice and a quote.
