Frameless rooflight installation in Wigston Magna

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?

Jobs across LE18, LE8 and LE2 are part of our normal cover for Wigston Magna. 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 Evington and Oadby are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.

Already bought your unit?

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.

Included in the work

• Fall set in the upstand so rain clears the oversailing glass edge
• Lifting gear arranged for heavy single panes where two people cannot safely carry
• Glass bedded on the specified tape or sealant and fixed through the concealed frame
• Drainage at the overhang — We check how water leaves the glass where it oversails the kerb.
• How the reveal will look — We agree the finish at the glass edge before building anything.

How a fitting day runs

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.

Planning, building control and Wigston Magna

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.

What to send for a quick quote

What we cannot see, we have to guess, and guesses make quotes wider. So the more you send, the tighter the price. Useful: shots from the roof or garden, shots from the room underneath, a rough width and length, the roof finish, any access problems, and the product page if you have already ordered. Add the property postcode around LE18 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
