Why use a rooflight fitting specialist

Product warranties on rooflights usually depend on the unit being fitted to the maker's instructions. Those instructions cover upstand height, fixing centres, sealants, and how the roof covering is dressed in. Following them line by line takes familiarity with how different units go together. A specialist fitter reads the paperwork, checks the delivery and measures the opening before starting, then fits to the book. If something on site does not match, they flag it rather than improvising. That protects both the roof and the warranty.

From the centre of Fareham out to its edges, postcode districts PO16, PO15 and PO14 are all standard cover. The same applies to neighbouring Gosport, about 4 miles off, and Portsmouth, around 5 miles away. If you are further out, towards Southsea or beyond, send the postcode and we will confirm before quoting.

Planning and building rules in England

Two sets of rules matter in England. Planning: a rooflight on a house is normally permitted development if it projects no more than 0.15 m and stays below the highest part of the roof, but flats, listed buildings and Article 4 areas need checking. Building regulations: new openings need approval for the structure and energy performance, and a replacement is a controlled fitting. We are not registered with a competent person scheme, so we notify replacements to building control with a building notice and put the council's fee on the quote.

Questions about rooflight fitting in Fareham

Do you cover Fareham?

Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Fareham and the surrounding districts, including PO16. 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.

Can you fit a rooflight in winter or when it is raining?

Yes, within limits. Cold is less of a problem than wet, because membranes, primers and sealants need a dry surface to bond. We plan fitting days around the forecast and may move a date if heavy rain is due. If the roof has to be opened up, it is not left overnight without a temporary weather seal, so the room below stays dry while the work is finished.

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.

Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Fareham?

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.
