Loft conversion roof windows in Newcastle-under-Lyme

What the job costs in Newcastle-under-Lyme

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 Newcastle-under-Lyme

Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Newcastle-under-Lyme that means postcode districts ST5, ST4 and ST1, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Stoke-on-Trent, about 2 miles away, or Longton at roughly 4 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.

Fit-only or supply and fit

Your unit or ours, the fitting standard is the same. For supply and fit we choose a loft roof window 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.

On the day, we cover

• Linings fitted, ready for the plasterboarder or decorator
• Window positions set out on the slope to line up inside and out
• Insulation collars fitted so the room's insulation meets each frame
• Fitting stage and weather — We plan when the windows go in around the rest of the conversion.
• Combination flashings — We order combination flashings where windows sit close together.

Fitting your loft roof window, step by step

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 loft roof window 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 to two days.

Do you need permission in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

Replacing a rooflight in an English home is a controlled fitting: it has to be self-certified by a scheme-registered installer or notified to building control. We are not registered with a competent person scheme, so replacements we fit are notified with a building notice, and the new unit has to meet current energy limits. Adding a new one usually means a building regulations application, because joists or rafters are trimmed. On the planning side, most house rooflights are permitted development if they project 0.15 m or less; on a side slope the glass must be obscured and fixed unless the opening part is over 1.7 m above the floor.

Before you get in touch

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 ST5, and we can price it.
