Dormer - cost - piece of string calculation
Looking at terraced houses (for a friend).
Generally four stories from basement to loft room Some have a dormer, others just have a roof light. I was wondering what the very approximate cost might be to add a dormer. Piece of string, I know. No dimensions on the listing I am viewing, but the room width is unlikely to be more than 18 feet and more likely to be less (2 bedroom). Looking at the picture a single bed goes about half way across the room, so possibly 12 feet. Assume a dormer of 8-10 feet wide for starters. Next issue - there is a roof support half way up. I assume that that could be cut because most of the roof is going. Otherwise that limits the height. Next issue - can all this be done from the inside (like a roof light)? If not, there is a LOT of scaffolding needed to get up 4 storeys including the loft room. Then again it looks as though the soil pipe will need moving (they seem to lie them on the roof up to the apex - presumably to clear the various windows in the loft rooms). Leeds area, if this helps.
