Conservation rooflight installation in Andover

What the job costs in Andover

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.

Fitting across Andover and nearby

Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Andover that means postcode districts SP10, SP11 and SO20, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Winchester, about 13 miles away, or Newbury at roughly 15 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.

Buying your own, or letting us supply

There are two ways to do this. Supply and fit means we source a conservation rooflight that suits your roof and install it, so one company answers for both the product choice and the fitting. Fit-only means you buy the unit and we install it. With fit-only, the product warranty stays with the maker or seller, and our written guarantee covers the fitting work. Both routes get the same checks on the opening, the upstand and the maker's instructions before anything is fixed.

What the job includes

• Rafters trimmed with timbers that suit the existing roof
• Flashings in lead or a matching kit, dressed to the covering
• Slates or tiles made good around the frame with tidy cuts
• Conservation area rules by nation — We check the permitted development position for your nation before the rooflight is ordered.
• Energy and old roofs — We make sure the rooflight meets current energy rules while suiting an older roof build-up.

Fitting your conservation rooflight, step by step

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 conservation rooflight, seal it and finish the inside. Packaging and any old unit leave with them unless the quote says otherwise.

Regulations for Andover properties

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.

Before you get in touch

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 SP10, and we can price it.
