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.
Areas around Perth we cover
Distance is rarely the deciding factor. A roof in Glenrothes, 17 miles from Perth, gets the same survey, the same written quote and the same fitting process as one in PH2, PH1 and PH14. What changes the price is the job itself: size of unit, roof type, access and lifting. Dundee, around 18 miles out, is treated the same way.
On the day, we cover
- Phasing agreed so occupied areas stay dry and usable
- Access, edge protection and fragile-roof covers planned before work starts
- 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.
- Glass or polycarbonate — We compare glass and polycarbonate units against the roof, use and budget.
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.
Do you need permission in Perth?
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.
Help us quote accurately
Each detail you send takes a question off our list. Photos inside and out show the opening and the ceiling. Rough measurements tell us the unit size. The roof covering tells us how it will be sealed in. Access notes tell us whether a tower or scaffold is needed. A product link, if you have one, lets us check it against the opening. Your postcode, PH2 or nearby, confirms travel.
Common questions in Perth
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.
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 Perth?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Perth and the surrounding districts, including PH2. 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.
