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.
Areas around Camden Town we cover
Jobs across NW1, NW5 and N1C are part of our normal cover for Camden Town. 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 Chalk Farm and Holloway are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.
Included in the work
- Phasing agreed so occupied areas stay dry and usable
- Roof survey of every unit, kerb and the fragile areas around them
- 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.
- Energy limits for non-domestic roofs — We check new units against the energy limits for non-domestic buildings.
How a fitting day runs
Fitting days start with a look at the sky. If rain is due, the order of work changes so the roof is never left open to it. A typical day for a commercial rooflight runs like this: set up access, protect the room, open up the roof or prepare the existing kerb or frame, check sizes, fix, seal, then finish inside. On jobs that take more than a day, the opening is weather-sealed overnight. The last hour goes on tidying, waste removal and a walk-round with you.
Planning and building rules in England
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.
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 NW1 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
Common questions in Camden Town
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 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.
Do you cover Camden Town?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Camden Town and the surrounding districts, including NW1. 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.
Send a few photos and your NW1 postcode, and we will put together a written quote for the job.
