Dome rooflight replacement in Broxburn

Guide prices in Broxburn

Guide ranges for supply & fit, per dome; building control notice fee extra on homes in England and Wales. 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 warrant fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.

Coverage in and around Broxburn

Distance is rarely the deciding factor. A roof in Livingston, 3 miles from Broxburn, gets the same survey, the same written quote and the same fitting process as one in EH52, EH53 and EH29. What changes the price is the job itself: size of unit, roof type, access and lifting. Bathgate, around 7 miles out, is treated the same way.

What we check on a supplied unit

Your unit or ours, the fitting standard is the same. For supply and fit we choose a dome 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 we do on the day

• Inside checked for drips and the trim refitted
• Kerb checked for rot, size and height before the new unit goes on
• New multi-skin dome or glass unit fixed and sealed
• Fragile dome safety — We treat old domes as fragile at all times.
• Multi-skin domes and energy — We fit multi-skin domes rather than single-skin ones as replacements.

Fitting your dome rooflight, step by step

Protection comes before tools. Floors, furniture and stairs get covered, and the ceiling below the opening is sheeted to catch dust. Up top, the fitters confirm the opening is square and the upstand or flashing suits what the maker specifies. Fixing follows, then weather-sealing into the membrane, felt or tiles. Only once the roof is tight do they turn to the internal reveal. Time on site for a dome rooflight: a few hours per dome, weather permitting.

Planning and building rules in Scotland

If you live in Scotland, the key question is whether the job is new or a replacement. A new rooflight needs a building warrant. Swapping an old rooflight for a new one, frame included, doesn't, as long as the new unit meets the standards: the energy figure for new or replacement rooflights in alterations is 1.6 W/m²K. Conservation areas have no householder permitted development rights for roof alterations, and listed buildings need listed building consent.

Getting a price from photos

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 EH52.
