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.

Towns we list in Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire is part of our normal coverage in England. Fitting teams travel out to the property, so a town-centre terrace and a house down a farm track are treated alike, as long as a fitter can get the unit to the roof safely. Dates are offered according to fitter availability, and the cost of travel is already in your written quote.

What's included

Access, edge protection and fragile-roof covers planned before work starts
Roof survey of every unit, kerb and the fragile areas around them
Old units removed, with waste taken off site
Working around occupied buildings — We plan noise, dust and access around the people using the building.
Fragile roofs and rooflights — We treat every rooflight and the roof around it as fragile until we have checked it.

Rules that apply 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.

Common questions in Northamptonshire

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.

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.

Does commercial rooflight work need building control?

Usually. New openings, structural changes and smoke vents go through building control, and on buildings covered by fire safety law that means a full plans application rather than a building notice. We are not registered with a competent person scheme, so replacements we fit are notified to building control. We confirm the route and show any fee on the quote.
