Flat rooflight installation in Old Trafford

Guide prices in Old Trafford

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.

Covering M32 and neighbouring districts

Jobs across M32, M16 and M17 are part of our normal cover for Old Trafford. 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 Stretford and Salford 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

A damaged delivery is a frequent snag on fit-only work. Before the day, unpack a flat rooflight, photograph it, and tell the seller about any cracks or scuffs, because claims are much easier made early. We will also ask for the model or a link, so we can read the maker's instructions and check the builder's opening size and the upstand height it expects. If everything lines up, we fit it. If not, we explain what needs changing first.

What we do on the day

• Unit bedded on the specified sealant or tape and screw-fixed
• Product paperwork handed over and warranty registration explained
• Reveal lined and trimmed inside, with the glass left clean
• Ceiling and reveal depth — We measure the depth from the kerb top to the ceiling to plan the reveal.
• Pitch of the glass — We make sure the glass will sit at the pitch its maker asks for.

From arrival to clean-up

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

Do you need permission in Old Trafford?

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.

Details that speed up your quote

Each detail you send takes a question off our list. Photos inside and out show the opening and the ceiling. Rough measurements tell us the unit size. The roof covering tells us how it will be sealed in. Access notes tell us whether a tower or scaffold is needed. A product link, if you have one, lets us check it against the opening. Your postcode, M32 or nearby, confirms travel.
