Dormer question
Comments (4)Hello there. We have undertaken quite a few projects on Victorian houses where dormers join. This has been achieved by both sides enclosing on a party wall that has been extended in height to a minimum of 150mm above the roof deck. Being solid masonary, insulation is then added internally. The roof coverings of the two dormers are protected with lead flashing. As Man About The House has said, party wall agreements are a must. Good luck with your project.

Comments (3)Well, it's obvious that it will be the same size whether it is painted or not - and you can't just phone the planning inspectorate up and ask! My question relates to whether the optical appearance of a lighter colour dormer is smaller and less intrusive than a darker colour dormer??...See MoreDormer troubles!
Comments (2)I would do it together. I had my dormer removed as it took up unnecessary space in the bedroom. We amended the roof line at the same time. As I type I can hear the builder next door doing the same on my neighbours property. Three of us have all removed our dormers. One large dormer may not intrude on the inside room with its cheeks but the small ones look fancy from the outside but are a pain inside regarding height space. I have to agree costs are going through the roof. So many increases across the board on all supplies it’s frightening and that’s when you can get them....See MoreBifolds or french doors in a loft conversion?
