Dormers and Roof Windows

Dormer roofs and cladding, plus skylights and roof windows that bring light into the loft.

Dormers and Roof Windows

What's Involved

From a single roof window to a loft conversion with dormers, we build, roof and clad them, and fit VELUX and Keylite windows with the correct flashing kits. We also build roof lanterns, the glazed roof lights that bring a flat-roofed extension or orangery to life.

A roof lantern goes from an OSB-framed upstand to a finished, insulated glass roof, built and glazed by the same team that does the roofing around it.

How We Build Them

  1. Dormers are framed in timber, roofed, and clad on the front and cheeks in uPVC, in white or platinum grey.
  2. Lead soakers and a front plate where the dormer meets the main roof.
  3. Insulation in the dormer: 75mm when we re-clad an old one, and 50mm plus 100mm Kingspan on a loft conversion.
  4. Every roof window goes in with its own flashing kit, so the window and the tiles shed water together.
  5. A roof lantern goes from an OSB-framed upstand to a finished, insulated glass roof, built by the same team as the roof around it.
