What do you get with a dormer loft conversion?

A dormer loft conversion builds a box-shaped extension out from the rear slope of the roof, creating vertical walls and full head height across most of the new floor. It is the most popular type of loft conversion because it gives the most usable space for the cost.

Planning and building rules in Annan

Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.

In Scotland, dormers and other roof enlargements usually need planning permission, especially on the front of the house. A building warrant is needed before work starts in every case.

What can change the price or programme?

A flat dormer roof needs proper falls and a quality membrane.
L-shaped dormers are common on Victorian terraces with a rear outrigger.
