Loft conversion roof windows in Godalming

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.

Covering GU7 and neighbouring districts

Godalming and the districts around it, GU7, GU8 and GU3, all sit inside our working area. So does the ground between Godalming and Guildford (4 miles), and on towards Haslemere (8 miles). When a fitting team is booked, their travel is already in the quoted price, so it does not turn up as a surprise line on the final bill.

Your loft roof windows or ours

A damaged delivery is a frequent snag on fit-only work. Before the day, unpack a loft roof window, photograph it, and tell the seller about any cracks or scuffs, because claims are much easier made early. We will also ask for the model or a link, so we can read the maker's instructions and check the opening size and the flashing kit it expects. If everything lines up, we fit it. If not, we explain what needs changing first.

What the job includes

• Matching or combination flashing kits for windows side by side
• Window positions set out on the slope to line up inside and out
• Insulation collars fitted so the room's insulation meets each frame
• Energy performance in a loft — We check every window meets the energy limit for roof windows in existing homes.
• Combination flashings — We order combination flashings where windows sit close together.

Fitting your loft roof window, step by step

Protection comes before tools. Floors, furniture and stairs get covered, and the ceiling below the opening is sheeted to catch dust. Up top, the fitters confirm the opening is square and the upstand or flashing suits what the maker specifies. Fixing follows, then weather-sealing into the membrane, felt or tiles. Only once the roof is tight do they turn to the internal reveal. Time on site for a loft roof window: one to two days, weather permitting.

Do you need permission in Godalming?

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.

Before you get in touch

A fast quote needs five things: a photo of the roof from outside, one from the room below, rough sizes of the opening or the space, the roof covering (felt, single-ply, fibreglass, tiles, slate or metal), and a note on access. If you have already bought the unit, add the product link or spec sheet. And give us the postcode, GU7 or a neighbouring district.
