Conservation rooflight installation in Woking

What the job costs in Woking

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 Woking

Jobs across GU22, GU21 and GU23 are part of our normal cover for Woking. 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 Chertsey and Weybridge 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?

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.

What the job includes

• Slates or tiles lifted carefully and kept for reuse where possible
• Position checked against any consent drawings or council conditions
• 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.
• Reusing the original covering — We plan to reuse the existing slates or tiles wherever we can.

From arrival to clean-up

Where a job takes one day, the split is usually structural work first and finishing second. Early on, the fitters cut or prepare the opening, trim where needed and prepare the upstand or flashing. Then a conservation rooflight is lifted in, fixed and made weathertight so the roof is sound before anyone moves inside. Plasterboard, trim and filler for the reveal come after. Each evening the work area is swept, and at the end the glass is cleaned and the team talks you through what was done.

Planning, building control and Woking

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

For fit-only work, the product details matter most: the link, the spec sheet, or a photo of the label on the box. Alongside that, send pictures of the roof and the ceiling below, approximate opening sizes, the type of roof covering, and how someone would get onto the roof. For supply and fit, the same photos and sizes do the job. Finish with your postcode, such as GU22.
