Programme of works
Phased replacement across a building, priced from a survey
Guide ranges for supply & fit, per unit; site set-up priced separately. Your price is fixed in a written quote after we have seen photos or surveyed. Scaffold, access towers or a crane are priced separately if the job needs them, and building control fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.
Coverage in and around Newry
Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Newry that means postcode districts BT35, BT34 and BT32, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Banbridge, about 12 miles away, or Portadown at roughly 17 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.
On the day, we cover
- Phasing agreed so occupied areas stay dry and usable
- Unit schedule and handover notes for the building's records
- Access, edge protection and fragile-roof covers planned before work starts
- Fragile roofs and rooflights — We treat every rooflight and the roof around it as fragile until we have checked it.
- Glass or polycarbonate — We compare glass and polycarbonate units against the roof, use and budget.
How a fitting day runs
Arrive and agree the plan. Sheet the floor and furniture. Set up the ladder, tower or scaffold. Check the opening, the upstand or flashing, and the unit against the paperwork. Fix and pack a commercial rooflight level. Seal it into the roof. Line the reveal or fit the ceiling trim. Clean the glass, clear the waste, and talk you through it. That is the shape of most fitting days, and for this type of job it usually takes about a day per unit, longer on big roofs.
Regulations for Newry properties
On commercial buildings in Northern Ireland, rooflight openings and roof alterations go through building control, with energy and fire requirements for the glazing set out in the Technical Booklets. Smoke vents must be certified products with controls commissioned by a specialist. We confirm the route for your building.
Help us quote accurately
What we cannot see, we have to guess, and guesses make quotes wider. So the more you send, the tighter the price. Useful: shots from the roof or garden, shots from the room underneath, a rough width and length, the roof finish, any access problems, and the product page if you have already ordered. Add the property postcode around BT35 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
Common questions in Newry
What if my roof opening is the wrong size for the commercial rooflight?
We find out before the fitting day, not on it. If the opening is slightly out, it can usually be adjusted by trimming or by packing out the upstand. If it is a long way off, the choice is between altering the opening and changing the unit. Bear in mind that rooflights are often sold by builder's opening size rather than external size, so check which one your measurement refers to.
Does a rooflight need building control approval?
In Northern Ireland a new opening alters the roof structure, so expect a building control application; confirm the position with your council, including for replacements. The new rooflight must meet WER Band C or 1.6 W/m²K. We confirm what applies before you commit.
Do you cover Newry?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Newry and the surrounding districts, including BT35. 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.
Ask for a quote for your Newry roof. Survey dates are offered based on fitter availability once you are happy with the price.
