A dormer is a boxed section built out from the slope so you can stand up where the rafters used to meet the floor. We look at the existing roof, the ceiling joists, and where the stairs would land before we say a dormer is the right job.
The quotation names the opening, the structure, the window, and the making-good inside. You see that in writing before any roof is opened.
What is included
- Survey of headroom, roof structure, and stair position
- Dormer structure, cheeks, and roof window
- Weathering where the new roof meets the old one
- Written quotation before work starts
Questions
01Will every loft take a dormer?
No. If the headroom, the roof structure, or the stair position will not work, we say so at the survey.
02Is the survey free?
Yes. Loft surveys and written quotations are free across the Essex towns we cover.
03Do you start before the price is written down?
No. The quotation names the work, and that is the job we carry out.
