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 warrant fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.
Coverage in and around Cumbernauld
Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Cumbernauld that means postcode districts G67, G68 and G65, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Airdrie, about 6 miles away, or Coatbridge at roughly 6 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.
Included in the work
- Roof survey of every unit, kerb and the fragile areas around them
- New units fitted, sealed and weathered into the roof covering
- Kerbs checked and packed, adapted or rebuilt where needed
- Energy limits for non-domestic roofs — We check new units against the energy limits for non-domestic buildings.
- Fire performance near boundaries — We check how close the rooflights are to the site boundary and to escape routes.
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 Cumbernauld properties
On non-domestic buildings and blocks of flats in Scotland, new rooflights and roof alterations need a building warrant, and the Technical Handbooks set energy and fire requirements for the glazing. Smoke vents must be certified products with controls commissioned by a specialist. We confirm the warrant route for your building.
Getting a price from photos
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 G67 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
Common questions in Cumbernauld
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.
Will my new commercial rooflight leak?
A correctly fitted unit should not. Leaks usually trace back to the detail around the frame: an upstand that is too low, a membrane or flashing that is not dressed properly, sealant applied to a damp surface, or water ponding against the kerb. We fit to the maker's instructions and check each of those points. The fitting carries a written workmanship guarantee, with its terms set out on your quote.
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.
