Robin, that tutorial was absolutely brilliant…I love your never ending “attention to detail” & so succinct as well!!! If only everybody was like that! Excellent
Hi robin I done lot dormas i was lucky got teamed up with guy like you we cut 12 up in kit form open roof knock one up in day in November was cold 30 years ago like but learned fast love watching you guys up to date kit
Great video Robin. I've got to rebuild my chalet bungalow bathroom dormer soon, I've just gutted both bedrooms either side and in the process realized the bath tub end has been cut through the wall and half way through the corner dormer leg. Walk in shower it is then! I've already had the main roof and flat roofs replaced so will have to rebuild piece by piece without removing this hopefully. Anyway as a cabinet/kitchen guy I always find value in your videos when I'm out of my comfort zone, thank you.
You are By Far The Best Joiner/Carpenter I've ever encountered, and I used to be one. I don't even deserve the Title. Could you tell me in a round about way, what it would cost to do one of these? No insulation etc. Just remove tiles, build structure and finish outside? Appreciate it. Thanks
Hi Paul, a simple dormer like this with good weather and a decent bit of timber should take about 2 man days to build subject to structural alterations so the labour would be between £500 and £800
It's good to hear that your wage is akin to current labour prices. Where I live in Consett County Durham builders et al are two a penny and folks are living in the past wondering why they want £20ph where they should be closer to £40. @@ukconstruction If I live closer I'd beg you for an apprenticeship....but I am 50 in March haha. Cheers.
Never understand chippies that build a dormer in stick by stick form, build it in panels and it will go up twice as quick and you cut down on the time your roof is left open. Nice job Robin
Hi Robin, I watch all your videos as soon as they are released. Absolutely idolise you. What shoes are those? You could do a video on clothing as there is much to be said on the subject.
Fantastic, as always Robin Wonder why a flat roof? The tiles are a bit mossy. A sloped roof would have been better. Or was it just a design /aesthetic consideration? Thank you for a great video. Note: I loved the dormer videos on the big build. Geometry working its beauty with practicality
Great video. With flat roof dormers do you have a preference to warm or cold roofs should height allow? Also is it better practice to slope them forward to a gutter or backwards towards flashing of the original roof?
Hi Elliot, If the dormer is large and the height permits then I would always look at doing a warm roof, its easier and the lighting is also simpler as there is a clear void for the recessed fittings etc, a small dormer like this I prefer to use a cold roof as I have to vent the area of pitched roof at the back

Definitely loads quicker On older roofs it can throw your panels a bit but I just normally pack and then hex bolt. When we used to build apartment roofs with loads of dormers you can just build kit form and crane the lot up. So much easier 👍
really appreciate the time taken to show things like this, dormers are still quite the unknown for me, but this was very good to watch
Thanks Jon, I appreciate your words mate

Excellent
Would be great to see how you sistered the triple meaning how you got the timber in position next to existing 👍,great video
Loving you video` s Robin, keep them up. 😁
Excellent bit of construction Robin,shows how well some forward planning can make a job easier.👍👍
Another excellent job. Your attention to detail is fantastic. As a DIY'er I have learnt so much from your videos. Keep the videos coming. 👍
Thanks, will do!
Great work mate, can’t beat a production line for efficiency!

This is mint. I love what you do, Robin!
Excellent job Robin as usual.Seen you work on such steep and high roofs gives me goose bumps.
After a while it feels totally normal!!
@@ukconstruction you are a brave man lol.
Love watching you work. Wish it would have shown you making and installing the soakers but as you say a wet day. Maybe next time

I watched this one 3 times 🙋♂️
Well done Joe!!
Is there a manual on how to cover the junction between the roof and the dormer so the water can't leak into?

Lovely job robin 👌👌
Robin great video as always random one what footwear are you using? I cannot for the life of me find any that last longer than a year

Why osb on the outside rather then the inside? I see here in the Netherlands they seem to do it on the inside
Fantastic, as always Robin

How do you know where to start building the side walls to account for the window height at the front?
Nice 👏🏻
