Frameless rooflight installation in Solihull

Guide prices in Solihull

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 Solihull and nearby

Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Solihull that means postcode districts B91, B92 and B90, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Shirley, about 2 miles away, or Acocks Green at roughly 3 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

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.

Included in the work

• 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
• Upstand built to the maker's drawing within its stated tolerance
• Glass weight and access — We plan the lift for a frameless pane before the delivery is booked.
• Laminated inner pane — We confirm the inner pane is laminated or otherwise suited to being overhead.

From arrival to clean-up

Morning first: the team arrives, introduces itself and walks through the job with you. Dust sheets go down in the room below and along the route in. Then the opening and upstand, or the flashing on a pitched roof, are checked against the unit's measurements. A frameless rooflight goes in, is fixed to the maker's pattern and sealed into the roof covering. Inside, the reveal is finished as quoted. Before leaving, the team clears debris and talks you through what was done. Most jobs of this type take one day.

Planning, building control and Solihull

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

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 B91 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
