Default 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.


Cheers
