What is included in a dormer loft conversion in Newtownards?
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

Do you need permission for a dormer loft conversion in Newtownards?
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 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.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
