Loft conversion roof windows in Mountsorrel

What the job costs in Mountsorrel

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 Mountsorrel and nearby

Distance is rarely the deciding factor. A roof in Loughborough, 4 miles from Mountsorrel, gets the same survey, the same written quote and the same fitting process as one in LE4, LE12 and LE7. What changes the price is the job itself: size of unit, roof type, access and lifting. Leicester, around 5 miles out, is treated the same way.

Already bought your unit?

There are two ways to do this. Supply and fit means we source a loft roof window 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

• Rafters trimmed and doubled where the openings need them
• Insulation collars fitted so the room's insulation meets each frame
• Window positions set out on the slope to line up inside and out
• Approved loft drawings — We work to the window positions on your approved loft drawings or agree changes with your builder first.
• Fitting stage and weather — We plan when the windows go in around the rest of the conversion.

How a fitting day runs

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 loft roof window, 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.

Getting a price from photos

Keep it simple. Two or three photos, outside and inside. Approximate sizes. What the roof is made of. Anything awkward about getting up there, such as a conservatory below, a narrow side path or no parking. If you bought the rooflight online, the link or model name. Then your postcode in or around LE4. That is enough for a first price.
