New rooflight in an existing roof in Llandudno

What the job costs in Llandudno

Guide ranges for supply & fit, including structure and making good; building control or warrant fees extra. 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 Llandudno

Jobs across LL30, LL31 and LL28 are part of our normal cover for Llandudno. We are not an office on the high street. Our fitting teams come out to the property from wherever they are working that week. Neighbouring places such as Colwyn Bay and Rhyl are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.

Already bought your unit?

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

On the day, we cover

• Roof membrane, felt or tiles made good and dressed up the upstand
• Joists or rafters trimmed with new timbers to carry the load around
• Opening marked out, covering stripped back and the deck cut cleanly
• Warm or cold roof build-up — We find out whether the roof is insulated above or between the joists before designing the upstand.
• Planning for your roof — We check whether the new rooflight falls within permitted development for your house and nation.

Fitting your rooflight, step by step

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 new 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 and building rules in Wales

For a Welsh home, start with where the house is. In a conservation area, National Park, AONB or World Heritage Site, a rooflight needs planning permission; outside those, permitted development usually covers one that projects 150 mm or less. Side-facing roof windows within 10.5 m of a boundary must be obscure-glazed and fixed. New openings need building regulations approval, and replacements we fit are notified with a building notice, as we are not registered with a competent person scheme. We confirm all of this for your address.

Details that speed up your quote

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 LL30, and we can price it.
