Fit-only rooflight installation in Seaford

Guide prices in Seaford

Guide ranges for labour only — you supply the rooflight. 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.

Is your address covered?

Jobs across BN25, BN9 and BN10 are part of our normal cover for Seaford. 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 Peacehaven and Rottingdean are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.

Buying your own, or letting us supply

Which works out better, buying your own or letting us supply? It depends on what you value. Buying your own gives you control of the product and what you pay for it. Letting us supply puts the whole job, unit and fitting, under one written quote. On a customer-supplied unit we still measure it against the opening, look at the upstand, and inspect the condition it arrived in. Warranty on the product sits with whoever sold it, while the fitting carries our own guarantee.

On the day, we cover

• Opening tested where relevant, packaging taken away and paperwork handed back
• Roof membrane dressed up the kerb and finished under the drip edge
• Internal reveal trimmed or lined, with the protective film removed at the end
• Delivery damage and missing parts — We ask you to open the delivery and check it as soon as it arrives, not on fitting day.
• Internal versus external size — We check whether your rooflight's quoted size is the hole size or the outer frame size.

Fitting your 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 rooflight, seal it and finish the inside. Packaging and any old unit leave with them unless the quote says otherwise.

Regulations for Seaford properties

Replacing a rooflight in an English home is a controlled fitting: it has to be self-certified by a scheme-registered installer or notified to building control. We are not registered with a competent person scheme, so replacements we fit are notified with a building notice, and the new unit has to meet current energy limits. Adding a new one usually means a building regulations application, because joists or rafters are trimmed. On the planning side, most house rooflights are permitted development if they project 0.15 m or less; on a side slope the glass must be obscured and fixed unless the opening part is over 1.7 m above the floor.

Before you get in touch

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 BN25, and we can price it.
