What to notice around dormer corners
Identify the work needed around dormer corners using the inspection photographs Adam supplies with your written quotation.
Dormer corner details
Tell Adam about water marks beside a dormer cheek; an inspection needs to establish how the cheek, deck and outlet meet before the visible problem is priced.
Look beyond the dormer detail
The reason for looking closely at dormer corners is that several small junctions concentrate rain at one corner, with the adjoining outlet connections forming part of the inspection.
Previous work needs explaining
Bring any records relating to your dormer corners, including photographs or descriptions of earlier work, so Adam can compare the previous scope with the roof now.
A clear scope is missing
Before agreeing your flat roof covering, ask the roofer to explain how the cheek, deck and outlet meet and identify the proposed work at the adjoining outlet connections.
Check dormer corners before agreeing the work
Get the work at dormer corners explained from close inspection. Your written quotation includes photographs of outlet connections so you can judge the proposed repair.
For the agreed flat roof work, the team will rebuild the corner weathering with matching roof trims.

The progress record includes daily photos and videos of work at dormer corners, while the agreed payment is made on completion. The inspection record keeps the decisions about dormer corners clear throughout the work.

Dormer corner details in Bedford
Bedford includes the Victorian houses around De Parys as well as the slate and clay roofs by the Embankment, with different surroundings for dormer corners to be checked against. For dormer corners, the useful question is how the cheek, deck and outlet meet, especially beside a dormer meeting an intersecting pitch. Adam looks at the existing outlet connections and records the detail before recommending the flat roof covering. Your proposal for dormer corners follows your own building, so a nearby roof of the same age is not evidence of what this detail needs.
Choose the covering around dormer corners
Choose a covering that suits dormer corners; Adam's written specification explains the deck and outlet connections together.
Torch-on felt
Torch-on felt uses bonded bitumen layers and a cap sheet, with the dormer corners detailed as part of the covering. Adam explains the chosen build-up and how it meets the outlet connections before the work is agreed.
Best for: Layered covering with specified dormer corners
EPDM rubber
EPDM uses a rubber membrane with purpose-made junction details around dormer corners. The inspection establishes the deck condition and the connection to outlet connections, so the written specification covers more than the open roof surface.
Best for: Flexible membrane around outlet connections
GRP fibreglass
GRP forms a resin and glass fibre covering over the prepared deck, with dormer corners included in the detailing. Our GRP system has a 25-year manufacturer guarantee, separate from the 10-year workmanship guarantee covering the roof and work on the outlet connections.
Best for: Resin finish with detailed dormer corners
