Conservation rooflight installation in Shrewsbury

Guide prices

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.

Covering SY1 and neighbouring districts

Jobs across SY1, SY2 and SY3 are part of our normal cover for Shrewsbury. We are not an office on the high street. Our fitting teams come out to the property from wherever they are working that week. Neighbouring places such as Wellington and Telford are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.

Already bought your unit?

A damaged delivery is a frequent snag on fit-only work. Before the day, unpack a conservation rooflight, photograph it, and tell the seller about any cracks or scuffs, because claims are much easier made early. We will also ask for the model or a link, so we can read the maker's instructions and check the opening size and the flashing kit it expects. If everything lines up, we fit it. If not, we explain what needs changing first.

What we do on the day

• Slates or tiles made good around the frame with tidy cuts
• Rooflight set low so it sits close to the line of the roof
• Position checked against any consent drawings or council conditions
• Conservation area rules by nation — We check the permitted development position for your nation before the rooflight is ordered.
• Reusing the original covering — We plan to reuse the existing slates or tiles wherever we can.

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 Shrewsbury 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.

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 SY1, and we can price it.
