Fit-only rooflight installation in Epsom

Guide prices in Epsom

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.

Fitting across Epsom and nearby

Epsom and the districts around it, KT18, KT17 and KT19, all sit inside our working area. So does the ground between Epsom and Ewell (2 miles), and on towards Chessington (3 miles). When a fitting team is booked, their travel is already in the quoted price, so it does not turn up as a surprise line on the final bill.

Buying your own, or letting us supply

There are two ways to do this. Supply and fit means we source a 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

• Opening and upstand measured against the maker's drawing, timber to timber
• Internal reveal trimmed or lined, with the protective film removed at the end
• Unit bedded on the sealant or tape the maker specifies, then screw-fixed
• Warranty conditions on your unit — We read the warranty terms that came with your rooflight before we fit it.
• Upstand height above the roof — We measure how far the upstand stands above the finished roof surface, including any ballast or walkway.

From arrival to clean-up

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 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 Epsom?

Two sets of rules matter in England. Planning: a rooflight on a house is normally permitted development if it projects no more than 0.15 m and stays below the highest part of the roof, but flats, listed buildings and Article 4 areas need checking. Building regulations: new openings need approval for the structure and energy performance, and a replacement is a controlled fitting. We are not registered with a competent person scheme, so we notify replacements to building control with a building notice and put the council's fee on the quote.

Details that speed up your quote

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 KT18.
