Flat rooflight installation in Cheadle Hulme

Cheadle Hulme 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.

Fitting across Cheadle Hulme and nearby

Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Cheadle Hulme that means postcode districts SK8, SK3 and SK7, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Bramhall, about 2 miles away, or Stockport 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.

Already bought your unit?

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

On the day, we cover

• Unit bedded on the specified sealant or tape and screw-fixed
• Reveal lined and trimmed inside, with the glass left clean
• Lifting gear or extra hands arranged for large and heavy panes
• Solar gain on south-facing roofs — We ask which way the roof faces and how the room is used before suggesting glass.
• Ceiling and reveal depth — We measure the depth from the kerb top to the ceiling to plan the reveal.

A typical installation 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 and building rules in England

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

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 SK8, and we can price it.
