Flat rooflight installation in Milton Keynes

Guide prices

Guide ranges for supply & fit. 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?

Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Milton Keynes that means postcode districts MK9, MK6 and MK14, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Newport Pagnell, about 3 miles away, or Bletchley at roughly 3 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.

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.

What the job includes

• Lifting gear or extra hands arranged for large and heavy panes
• Membrane, felt or GRP finished to the frame the way the maker shows
• Upstand checked or built to the maker's internal and external sizes
• Solar gain on south-facing roofs — We ask which way the roof faces and how the room is used before suggesting glass.
• Fixed or opening — We ask whether you need ventilation before you settle on a fixed unit.

What happens on the day

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 flat 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.

Planning, building control and Milton Keynes

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.

Help us quote accurately

Keep it simple. Two or three photos, outside and inside. Approximate sizes. What the roof is made of. Anything awkward about getting up there, such as a conservatory below, a narrow side path or no parking. If you bought the rooflight online, the link or model name. Then your postcode in or around MK9. That is enough for a first price.
