I am wanting to replace a skylight window to a dormer at the rear of my property and was wondering rough price guide to budget for external works.

how big is it roughly going to be? what slates or tiles are on the roof? is it going to be a flat roof or pitch? what do you want on the cheeks? lead? slates or tiles? or plastic? you will have to provide a bit more info..

That's a good reply.

 

I frequently am interested in quotations / estimates for a few jobs, but the info is very rarely forthcoming. However your answer expains why.

Firstly check on the need for planning usually to the rear you don't need it unless its a conservation area in Sheffield there are 38 of these. Then there is building regulation drawings and submissions. Calculations from a structural engineer for timbers steels etc. beware of Anyone offering to put you a dormer on without the above as you may have a problem when coming to sell your property. Cheers

The dormer is at the rear of the property. The attic is already opened and has a staircase going up. It had building regulations approval back in 1993 when the work was done. It currently has a skylight, but there is over 3metres of space remaining before the roof reaches guttering at the back. I am wanting to extend by 40 Cubic meters, which you can do as premitted development and want to maximise the height by installing a dormer. I am wanting UPVC cladding and a rough quotes for the external works. I will be having the work done in summer and only want a figure for budgeting purposes at the moment.
