What is 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.
- Steelwork and new floor structure
- Dormer frame, roof covering and cladding
- En-suite, electrics and fire-protected escape route

Planning and building rules in County Fermanagh
Northern Ireland projects need planning clearance and building control approval from the local council. We prepare the applications and agree any work near neighbouring property directly with the neighbours.
In Northern Ireland, roof enlargements such as dormers often need planning permission depending on size and position.
What can affect a dormer loft conversion?
- A flat dormer roof needs proper falls and a quality membrane.
- L-shaped dormers are common on Victorian terraces with a rear outrigger.
How does the project run?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
