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.
Where our fitters travel
Jobs across TS18, TS19 and TS20 are part of our normal cover for Stockton-on-Tees. We are not an office on the high street. Our fitting teams come out to the property from wherever they are working that week. Neighbouring places such as Billingham and Thornaby-on-Tees are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.
What we do on the day
- Roof survey of every unit, kerb and the fragile areas around them
- Unit schedule and handover notes for the building's records
- Access, edge protection and fragile-roof covers planned before work starts
- Fire performance near boundaries — We check how close the rooflights are to the site boundary and to escape routes.
- Working around occupied buildings — We plan noise, dust and access around the people using the building.
From arrival to clean-up
On the day, you need to be in at the start and at the end. In between, the fitters get on with it. They will want the room below cleared where possible, a parking spot if you have one, and somewhere to set the unit down safely. After checking the opening and the upstand or flashing, they fix a commercial rooflight, seal it and finish the inside. Packaging and any old unit leave with them unless the quote says otherwise.
Regulations for Stockton-on-Tees properties
For non-domestic roofs in England, expect building control involvement for new openings, energy limits of 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, and fire checks where rooflights sit near a boundary or above an escape route. Smoke ventilation rooflights must be certified products, with controls commissioned by a specialist. We set out what applies to your building on the quote.
Details that speed up your quote
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 TS18 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
Common questions in Stockton-on-Tees
Do you cover Stockton-on-Tees?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Stockton-on-Tees and the surrounding districts, including TS18. 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 commercial rooflights need planning permission?
Like-for-like replacements on commercial buildings rarely need planning permission. New or larger rooflights on non-domestic buildings and blocks of flats usually need checking with the planning authority, because householder permitted development rights don't apply. We tell you what we know about your building and point you to the right team.
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.
