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 Cardiff & the Vale
We work right across Wales, and Cardiff & the Vale is covered on the same footing as everywhere else. There is no showroom or depot to visit. The survey happens at your property or, for fit-only jobs, from your photos. If your address is remote or reached by ferry, tell us early and we will confirm what arrangement is needed before quoting.
What the job includes
- Old units removed, with waste taken off site
- Roof survey of every unit, kerb and the fragile areas around them
- Access, edge protection and fragile-roof covers planned before work starts
- Energy limits for non-domestic roofs — We check new units against the energy limits for non-domestic buildings.
- Working around occupied buildings — We plan noise, dust and access around the people using the building.
Rules that apply in Wales
On commercial roofs in Wales, new openings and structural changes go through building control, and fire performance has to be considered where rooflights are near a boundary. Smoke vents must be certified products with controls set up by a specialist. We confirm what applies to your building before quoting.
Common questions in Cardiff & the Vale
How does payment work?
Payment terms are set out on your written quote before you accept it. Depending on the job, that may mean a deposit, stage payments for larger work, or payment on completion. The contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, part of the S&K Group. Nothing is added without your agreement: if something unexpected comes up, we discuss it and agree any change before carrying on.
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.
Do you cover Cardiff & the Vale?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Cardiff & the Vale and the surrounding districts, including CF postcodes. 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.
