Electric opening rooflight installation in West Ealing

Guide prices

Guide ranges for supply & fit; the electrician's final connection is quoted separately. 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 West Ealing and nearby

Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In West Ealing that means postcode districts W13, W7 and W5, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Ealing, about 1 mile away, or Greenford at roughly 2 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.

Already bought your unit?

There are two ways to do this. Supply and fit means we source an electric opening 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

• Wall switch, remote receiver or control box fixed in place
• Unit fitted, sealed and weathered like a fixed flat rooflight
• Cable route planned through the kerb or reveal before the lining goes on
• Opening onto a side slope — We check where the opening part will sit if the roof is pitched or the unit faces a neighbour.
• Where power comes from — We find a sensible power supply for the rooflight before fitting day.

Fitting your electric opening 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 an electric opening rooflight: one day, plus the electrician's connection, weather permitting.

Planning, building control and West Ealing

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

What we cannot see, we have to guess, and guesses make quotes wider. So the more you send, the tighter the price. Useful: shots from the roof or garden, shots from the room underneath, a rough width and length, the roof finish, any access problems, and the product page if you have already ordered. Add the property postcode around W13 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
