Terraced and semi-detached houses are where dormers earn their keep. Most were built with rear roof slopes that leave the loft too tight to use, and a rear dormer — often permitted development, within volume limits — recovers that space as a genuine bedroom or office. We are a Preston-based firm and travel out for every job, covering Broughton along with Beanthwaite, Blawith and Broughton Beck. Your free survey tells you whether a dormer suits your roof before you commit to anything.
Property type shapes the design. On a terrace or semi, a full-width rear dormer usually gives the best return on space, and the party walls often help carry the new steels. You also need somewhere sensible for the stairs — ideally stacked over the existing flight so you lose as little of the floor below as possible. Access matters as well: we bring materials and a skip to the job, so a shared rear alley or a tight garden in Broughton is worth flagging early. None of these are usually deal-breakers, but they shape the quote.
Even when no planning permission is needed, we recommend applying for a lawful development certificate. It is formal confirmation from the council that your dormer was legitimately built under permitted development, and it saves real headaches when you come to sell. Building regulations are non-negotiable regardless: an inspector checks the steelwork, floor structure, fire doors, escape windows, insulation and staircase at set stages, and issues a completion certificate at the end. We manage both applications and all the inspections as part of the job.
A dormer is a structural job, and it deserves a firm that does this work week in, week out. Lords Lofts manages every stage from our Preston base — no chasing separate trades, no surprise extras mid-build. The survey and quote are free, the price is agreed before we start, and every conversion carries our 10-year guarantee.
Honest answer: it varies too much for a meaningful figure online. Dormer width, structural complexity, plumbing, glazing, and the finish you choose all move the price, and trussed roofs need more structural work than traditional ones. What we can promise is a free survey, a fixed itemised quote before you commit, and no extras invented mid-build.
You can normally stay put. Because most of the early work happens at roof level from scaffolding, your living space is barely touched for the first few weeks. Expect some noise, dust when the staircase opening is formed, and a skip outside for the duration. We tidy daily, keep the site sealed, and agree working hours with you beforehand.
Choose flat-roofed if space is the priority: you get full height right up to the dormer face and the biggest usable floor area within permitted development limits. Choose pitched if appearance matters more — on a front elevation, or where the planners expect the dormer to echo the main roof. We build both and will recommend whichever genuinely suits your house.
Most terraces and semis with a conventional pitched roof can take a dormer, which is precisely why they are so common on those houses. Marginal head height at the ridge is the usual sticking point, since the strengthened floor eats into it. Measure joist-top to ridge as a first check, then let us survey it properly — the visit costs nothing.
