Frameless rooflight installation in Cirencester

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 Cirencester and nearby

Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Cirencester that means postcode districts GL7, GL6 and GL8, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Stroud, about 10 miles away, or Cheltenham at roughly 13 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.

Your frameless rooflights or ours

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

• Kerb squared across the diagonals before the glass is ordered or fitted
• Glass bedded on the specified tape or sealant and fixed through the concealed frame
• Inside reveal formed so plaster or trim meets the glass cleanly
• How the reveal will look — We agree the finish at the glass edge before building anything.
• Glass weight and access — We plan the lift for a frameless pane before the delivery is booked.

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 frameless 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 Cirencester?

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.

Before you get in touch

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, GL7 or nearby, confirms travel.
