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 control fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.
Areas around Clydach we cover
Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Clydach that means postcode districts SA6, SA7 and SA8, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Neath, about 4 miles away, or Swansea at roughly 5 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.
On the day, we cover
- Kerbs checked and packed, adapted or rebuilt where needed
- Access, edge protection and fragile-roof covers planned before work starts
- Old units removed, with waste taken off site
- Fragile roofs and rooflights — We treat every rooflight and the roof around it as fragile until we have checked it.
- Fire performance near boundaries — We check how close the rooflights are to the site boundary and to escape routes.
How a fitting day runs
On the day, you need to be in at the start and at the end. In between, the fitters get on with it. They will want the room below cleared where possible, a parking spot if you have one, and somewhere to set the unit down safely. After checking the opening and the upstand or flashing, they fix a commercial rooflight, seal it and finish the inside. Packaging and any old unit leave with them unless the quote says otherwise.
Regulations for Clydach properties
Non-domestic rooflight work in Wales follows the Welsh Approved Documents: energy limits for the glazing, fire checks near boundaries and over escape routes, and building control for new openings. Planning depends on the building and its location. We set out the route on your quote.
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 SA6 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
Common questions in Clydach
What if my roof opening is the wrong size for the commercial rooflight?
We find out before the fitting day, not on it. If the opening is slightly out, it can usually be adjusted by trimming or by packing out the upstand. If it is a long way off, the choice is between altering the opening and changing the unit. Bear in mind that rooflights are often sold by builder's opening size rather than external size, so check which one your measurement refers to.
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.
Can you fit a rooflight in winter or when it is raining?
Yes, within limits. Cold is less of a problem than wet, because membranes, primers and sealants need a dry surface to bond. We plan fitting days around the forecast and may move a date if heavy rain is due. If the roof has to be opened up, it is not left overnight without a temporary weather seal, so the room below stays dry while the work is finished.
