Legally Speaking, Is A Dormer Considered To Be Part Of A 'roof'

Personally I would say No. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dormer

[grasscarp]

The definition of a dormer is
a window that is set vertically on a sloping roof. The dormer has its own roof, which may be flat, arched, or pointed.
So if a dormer has its own roof it is not part of a roof.

You're going to have to be more specific as to the context.
E.g. - is this about planning, and consent for a dormer in a roof, is it about insurance and damage? - what context

[RATTER15]

I think the other way around and say that the roof is a part of a "dormer"

[Dogsbody2]

Perhaps a dormer roof is part of the dormer which is part of the roof?!

The options are endless, as are the opportunities to speculate about nothing in particular until more is known about what the OP is on about.

[Peter Pedant]

this is likely to be a question of fact innit ?

My bet as I am at a loose end and it is raining in Torbay
is that
someone with a clipboard ( = from the Ministry ) has said it is an A so you have to do this and that
and the fella has said no it is a B ( dormer perhaps ) so I dont

I hld my breath as I look out onto Torbay from the agatha christie hotel ( but I am not hiding )

[Peter Pedant]
