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.
Covering NP4 and neighbouring districts
Distance is rarely the deciding factor. A roof in Cwmbran, 3 miles from Pontypool, gets the same survey, the same written quote and the same fitting process as one in NP4, NP44 and NP13. What changes the price is the job itself: size of unit, roof type, access and lifting. Risca, around 7 miles out, is treated the same way.
What the job includes
- Old units removed, with waste taken off site
- Kerbs checked and packed, adapted or rebuilt where needed
- Access, edge protection and fragile-roof covers planned before work starts
- 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.
What happens on the day
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.
Regulations for Pontypool properties
Non-domestic rooflight work in Wales follows the Welsh Approved Documents: energy limits for the glazing, fire checks near boundaries and over escape routes, and building control for new openings. Planning depends on the building and its location. We set out the route on your 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 NP4 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
Common questions in Pontypool
What is included in the price?
The written quote lists it line by line. Typically that covers fitting labour, fixings, sealants, membrane or flashing materials, any upstand work, internal finishing if agreed, and taking away the waste. For supply and fit, the unit itself is included too. Scaffold, lifting gear and any third-party fees, where needed, are shown separately so you can see what each part of the job costs.
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.
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.
