Flat rooflight installation in Ewell

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.

Covering KT17 and neighbouring districts

Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Ewell that means postcode districts KT17, KT19 and KT18, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Epsom, about 2 miles away, or Worcester Park at roughly 2 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.

What we check on a supplied unit

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.

On the day, we cover

• Fall confirmed so rain runs off the glass rather than sitting on it
• Reveal lined and trimmed inside, with the glass left clean
• Product paperwork handed over and warranty registration explained
• Weight of large panes — We check the weight of the unit against how we will get it onto the roof.
• Ceiling and reveal depth — We measure the depth from the kerb top to the ceiling to plan the reveal.

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.

Planning and building rules in England

In England, a new rooflight opening generally needs building regulations approval because the roof structure is altered and the glazing must meet energy rules: 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight in an existing home, or 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window. Planning is often not needed on a house: permitted development covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof slope and sit below the highest part of the roof. Flats, listed buildings and areas with an Article 4 direction are different, so we check your address first.

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 KT17.
