Fitting jobs in Hampton

Where rooflight jobs go wrong

A general builder can frame an opening perfectly well. The trouble usually comes at the top of it. Rooflight makers specify a minimum upstand height above the finished roof, a minimum pitch on the glass, and particular fixings and packers. Miss one of those and the unit can hold water, leak at the corners, or put its product warranty at risk. A fitting specialist works to those figures and checks where each maker's instructions differ. That is the part of the job worth handing over.

Nearby towns we also cover

From the centre of Hampton out to its edges, postcode districts TW12, TW11 and TW13 are all standard cover. The same applies to neighbouring West Molesey, about 1 mile off, and East Molesey, around 1 mile away. If you are further out, towards Hanworth or beyond, send the postcode and we will confirm before quoting.

Do you need permission in Hampton?

England's rules in short: permitted development usually covers a rooflight on a house roof provided it doesn't stick out more than 0.15 m or rise above the ridge, though a listed building always needs consent and some streets have Article 4 directions. Building regulations apply to new openings, and replacements go through building control; as we are not registered with a competent person scheme, we use a building notice and show the fee on the quote. The energy limit for rooflights in existing homes is 2.2 W/m²K, and the 2026 Approved Document L, in force from 24 March 2027, keeps that figure.

Questions about rooflight fitting in Hampton

Do you cover Hampton?

Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Hampton and the surrounding districts, including TW12. We do not run an office there; the survey and the fitting happen at your property. A few island and remote postcodes are covered by arrangement; if yours is one, we confirm travel and dates before quoting.

How does payment work?

Payment terms are set out on your written quote before you accept it. Depending on the job, that may mean a deposit, stage payments for larger work, or payment on completion. The contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, part of the S&K Group. Nothing is added without your agreement: if something unexpected comes up, we discuss it and agree any change before carrying on.

Will my new rooflight leak?

A correctly fitted unit should not. Leaks usually trace back to the detail around the frame: an upstand that is too low, a membrane or flashing that is not dressed properly, sealant applied to a damp surface, or water ponding against the kerb. We fit to the maker's instructions and check each of those points. The fitting carries a written workmanship guarantee, with its terms set out on your quote.

Do you need scaffolding to fit a rooflight?

Not always. Single-storey roofs can often be reached safely with ladders, a tower or edge protection. Higher roofs, steep pitches and large units usually need scaffold or a mobile platform, and heavy glass may need a crane. We assess access from your photos or at the survey, and any scaffold or lifting cost is shown as its own line on the written quote.
