Dormers in Hastings

Thinking about a dormer might seem like a big project, but with the right team, the process should feel straightforward and well-managed. Your journey with us typically starts with a friendly chat and a site visit to understand exactly what you want to achieve and assess your roof's potential. We'll discuss design options that suit your property and your needs, help you navigate any necessary planning permission considerations (especially important in conservation areas or listed buildings common across East Sussex), and then plan the build phase meticulously. Our aim is always to get it right the first time, delivering a high-quality outcome with minimal disruption. We handle everything as part of our comprehensive service.

Simply put, a dormer is a structural element that projects vertically from a pitched roof. Think of it as creating a vertical wall and window where your sloping roof was before. This achieves two key things: it adds valuable headroom, making the space beneath much more usable, and it brings in significant natural light and ventilation through a standard window. From the outside, they can add character, and inside, they can completely change a cramped loft into a bright, airy room. There are different types, like flat roof dormers for maximum space or gable dormers for a more traditional look, each offering distinct benefits for properties across our East Sussex patch.
