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.

- 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.
- Working around occupied buildings — We plan noise, dust and access around the people using the building.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Rooflight work on non-domestic buildings and blocks of flats in Scotland is covered by the domestic or non-domestic Technical Handbook, depending on the building: a building warrant for new openings, energy limits for the glazing and fire checks near boundaries. Replacements complete with frames have their own rules. We set out what applies before work starts.
Common questions in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde
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.
What upstand height and roof pitch does commercial rooflight fitting need?
It depends on the product. Manufacturers usually specify a minimum upstand height above the finished roof surface, and a minimum pitch on the glass so rain runs off. We follow the maker's figures for your unit rather than a rule of thumb. If your existing kerb or roof falls short, we explain the options, such as raising the upstand or choosing a unit with built-in pitch.
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.
