Dormer Roofs & Roof Windows in Halifax
Dormers add room and light but bring more junctions for water to find. We tile and weather dormers and fit roof windows that stay dry.

Dormers in the photos
One photo shows a large dormer being tiled from scaffold, with breathable membrane on the dormer face ready for its cladding. Another shows a gable-fronted dormer tiled to match the main roof. Where a dormer meets the main roof, the lead and flashings have to be right, because that joint takes water from every direction.
Roof windows
A roof window is only as good as its flashing. We fit windows with the correct kit for the roof covering and cut the slates or tiles neatly around them, as in the slate roof pictured. Roof windows can go in during a re-roof or on their own.
Leaking dormer?
- Damp where the dormer meets the roof
- Water on the window reveals
- Staining under a flat dormer top
- Lifted lead at the dormer cheeks

What you can expect from us
Plain dealing from the first phone call to the last swept path.
A proper look
We inspect the roof around the problem as well as the problem itself, so the repair goes where the water actually gets in.
A straight answer
You'll hear whether it's a repair, a bigger job or nothing to worry about yet, with the reasons, before you decide anything.
A tidy finish
Old slates, tiles, offcuts and packaging are cleared away and the work is talked through with you when it's done.
Questions about dormers & roof windows
Can you fit a roof window in my existing roof?
Yes, in slate or tile, with the right flashing kit. Some roof windows in loft conversions need building regulations approval, so check whether yours does.
Why does my dormer leak?
Most dormer leaks come from the junction with the main roof, the cheeks, or a failing flat top. We check each one.
Do you build dormers?
We carry out the roofing on dormers: coverings, flashings, flat tops and repairs. Tell us about your project and we'll say what we can take on.
Can a flat dormer top be replaced on its own?
Yes, the flat roof on a dormer can be renewed without touching the rest of the roof.
