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 Richmond we cover
Looking at a property near Richmond but not quite in it? We work across TW9, TW10 and TW1 and outwards to Twickenham, Isleworth and Hounslow. Give us the full postcode when you get in touch, because access, parking and the route for a large unit all depend on the exact street. Those details shape the quote for any job around Richmond.
On the day, we cover
- New units fitted, sealed and weathered into the roof covering
- Old units removed, with waste taken off site
- Phasing agreed so occupied areas stay dry and usable
- Glass or polycarbonate — We compare glass and polycarbonate units against the roof, use and budget.
- Energy limits for non-domestic roofs — We check new units against the energy limits for non-domestic buildings.
Fitting your commercial rooflight, step by step
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 Richmond 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 TW9 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
Common questions in Richmond
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.
Who is responsible for the smoke-control system?
The building's responsible person, duty holder or managing agent, depending on the nation, is responsible for keeping fire safety systems working. Our part is the rooflight and roof work; the controls, detection and commissioning are handled by a smoke-control specialist, and the quote says who does what.
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.
