Conservation rooflight installation in Hammersmith

What the job costs in Hammersmith

Guide ranges for supply & fit. 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.

Coverage in and around Hammersmith

Covering Hammersmith means covering the people who live and work there, not a single postcode. We take on domestic and commercial jobs in W6, W14 and W12, and are happy to quote further out in Shepherds Bush and Fulham. If your address sits between towns, tell us and we will confirm whether it falls in our normal area or needs travel set out separately on the quote.

What we check on a supplied unit

Your unit or ours, the fitting standard is the same. For supply and fit we choose a conservation rooflight to suit the roof and price it with the installation. For fit-only we work with what you have, after confirming it arrived undamaged, that it matches the builder's opening, and that the upstand will sit at the height the maker asks for. Report any transit damage to the seller, as the product cover is theirs and the maker's. Our written guarantee applies to the fitting itself.

Included in the work

• Slates or tiles lifted carefully and kept for reuse where possible
• Slates or tiles made good around the frame with tidy cuts
• Position checked against any consent drawings or council conditions
• Energy and old roofs — We make sure the rooflight meets current energy rules while suiting an older roof build-up.
• Glazing bar and frame detail — We check whether the council has asked for particular details, such as a central glazing bar or a dark frame colour.

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 conservation 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.

Planning and building rules in England

England's rules in short: permitted development usually covers a rooflight on a house roof provided it doesn't stick out more than 0.15 m or rise above the ridge, though a listed building always needs consent and some streets have Article 4 directions. Building regulations apply to new openings, and replacements go through building control; as we are not registered with a competent person scheme, we use a building notice and show the fee on the quote. The energy limit for rooflights in existing homes is 2.2 W/m²K, and the 2026 Approved Document L, in force from 24 March 2027, keeps that figure.

What to send for a quick quote

Start with your phone. Take a picture of the roof where the unit goes or already sits, then one from inside looking up. Measure what you can, even roughly. Tell us what the roof is covered with and how a fitter would reach it: ladder, garden access or scaffold. Bought it already? Send the link or spec. Add your full postcode, for example in W6, and we can price it.
