Dome rooflight replacement in Neath

Neath guide prices

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 control fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.

Covering SA10 and neighbouring districts

If you also own a property or a business unit in Briton Ferry, Clydach or Swansea, that is no problem. We can survey and quote both, and where it suits, line the fitting days up together. Every address is reached by fitters travelling to it from their current jobs, and SA10, SA11 and SA7 sit comfortably within that pattern.

Buying your own, or letting us supply

A damaged delivery is a frequent snag on fit-only work. Before the day, unpack a dome 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 builder's opening size and the upstand height it expects. If everything lines up, we fit it. If not, we explain what needs changing first.

What we do on the day

• Kerb checked for rot, size and height before the new unit goes on
• Kerb top cleaned of old sealant, fixings and loose felt
• Membrane checked where it meets the kerb, with small repairs made
• Multi-skin domes and energy — We fit multi-skin domes rather than single-skin ones as replacements.
• Is the kerb sound? — We check each kerb for rot and movement before quoting a dome swap.

Fitting your dome rooflight, step by step

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 dome 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.

Do you need permission in Neath?

Welsh rules differ from England's in one important way: rooflights lose permitted development rights in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs and World Heritage Sites. Elsewhere on a house, a rooflight that projects no more than 150 mm and stays below the highest part of the roof is usually fine. Building regulations still apply to new openings, replacements we fit go through a building notice because we are not scheme-registered, and the energy limit for rooflights is 2.2 W/m²K. A new Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027.

Details that speed up your 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 SA10, and we can price it.
