Why use a rooflight fitting specialist

Large glass units are heavy, awkward and expensive to replace if dropped. Getting one onto a roof may need a hoist, a crane or a planned lift from a scaffold. Fitting it means setting it level on packers, without twisting the frame, while the weather holds. A general builder may do this a few times a year. A rooflight fitting team plans the lift, the equipment and the sequence before the day. That lowers the risk to the unit and to the people lifting it.

Postcodes and places we cover

Need a rooflight fitted in Shoreham-by-Sea or close by? Districts BN43, BN42 and BN15 are covered, as are Lancing, Portslade and Worthing. If you manage several properties across these places, we can quote them together and plan the fitting days so the route makes sense. Larger units or awkward access at any of them are planned for at quote stage, so the day itself runs to plan.

Planning and building control

In England, a new rooflight opening generally needs building regulations approval because the roof structure is altered and the glazing must meet energy rules: 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight in an existing home, or 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window. Planning is often not needed on a house: permitted development covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof slope and sit below the highest part of the roof. Flats, listed buildings and areas with an Article 4 direction are different, so we check your address first.

Questions about rooflight fitting in Shoreham-by-Sea

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 remove and dispose of the old rooflight?

Yes. Taking out the old unit is part of any replacement job, and it leaves with the rest of the waste unless you ask to keep it. Old domes, glass and frames go through proper waste routes. If removal turns up a rotten kerb or damaged decking, we show you what we have found and agree the repair with you before going any further.

Do you cover Shoreham-by-Sea?

Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Shoreham-by-Sea and the surrounding districts, including BN43. 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.

Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Shoreham-by-Sea?

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.
