Rooflight installers in Bordon

Fitting jobs in Bordon

The details a specialist gets right

Builders run many trades at once, and the rooflight often gets squeezed in between the roofer and the plasterer. That is when corners get cut: an upstand built a little low, sealant applied in damp conditions, a reveal left rough. Bringing in a fitting specialist for that one stage means someone is focused on it alone, following the maker's instructions, with time set aside to finish the inside properly. The builder keeps control of the programme, and the rooflight gets proper attention.

Is your Bordon address covered?

From the centre of Bordon out to its edges, postcode districts GU35, GU30 and GU33 are all standard cover. The same applies to neighbouring Alton, about 5 miles off, and Haslemere, around 7 miles away. If you are further out, towards Farnham or beyond, send the postcode and we will confirm before quoting.

Do you need permission in Bordon?

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 Bordon

Do you offer trade rates for builders and roofers?

We carry out subcontract fitting for builders, roofers, extension companies and commercial contractors. Pricing is per job or per schedule of units, agreed in writing before we start. We can work to your programme, fit on your upstand or build our own, and leave the opening ready for the next trade. Send drawings or a unit schedule and we will come back with a trade quote.

Can you fit the rooflight I bought online?

Yes, fit-only is one of our core services. Send the product link or spec, photos of the roof and rough sizes, and we can usually price it from those. Before fitting we check the delivery for damage, which should be reported to the seller, plus the size against the builder's opening and the upstand height. The product warranty stays with the maker or seller, and our guarantee covers the fitting.

Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Bordon?

Often not. Many rooflights fall under permitted development, provided they do not project beyond the national limit and meet the other conditions that apply in England. Conservation areas, listed buildings and some flats are different and may need consent. Because the rules depend on the property, we confirm what is likely to apply at your address and point you to the planning authority where an application is needed.

Do you make good inside after fitting?

Yes, where the quote includes it. Internal finishing usually means lining the reveal with plasterboard, taping or skimming, and fitting trim where it meets the ceiling. Some people prefer their own plasterer or decorator to finish off, which is fine. The written quote spells out exactly where our work stops, so nobody is left guessing about who does what once the unit is in.
