Frameless rooflight installation in Stoke-on-Trent

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.

Coverage in and around Stoke-on-Trent

If you also own a property or a business unit in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Longton or Kidsgrove, that is no problem. We can survey and quote both, and where it suits, line the fitting days up together. Every address is reached by fitters travelling to it from their current jobs, and ST4, ST1 and ST5 sit comfortably within that pattern.

Buying your own, or letting us supply

Your unit or ours, the fitting standard is the same. For supply and fit we choose a frameless rooflight to suit the roof and price it with the installation. For fit-only we work with what you have, after confirming it arrived undamaged, that it matches the builder's opening, and that the upstand will sit at the height the maker asks for. Report any transit damage to the seller, as the product cover is theirs and the maker's. Our written guarantee applies to the fitting itself.

Included in the work

• Glass bedded on the specified tape or sealant and fixed through the concealed frame
• Kerb squared across the diagonals before the glass is ordered or fitted
• Fall set in the upstand so rain clears the oversailing glass edge
• Drainage at the overhang — We check how water leaves the glass where it oversails the kerb.
• Laminated inner pane — We confirm the inner pane is laminated or otherwise suited to being overhead.

From arrival to clean-up

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 Stoke-on-Trent

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.

Getting a price from photos

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 ST4, and we can price it.
