    Cost to add extra room to existing dormer to form L-shaped loft.

    Hi. Wondering if someone can give me a rough idea of costs for us to maximise on our 40 cubic meter allowance by adding an additional space to our existing dormer loft, making it into an L-shaped loft. The house is a late Victorian, mid terrace, currently about 1800 sq foot floor space...
