Roof access hatch installation in Larne

Guide prices in Larne

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 Larne

Jobs across BT40, BT38 and BT39 are part of our normal cover for Larne. 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 Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey 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 roof access hatch 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.

What the job includes

• Opening and upstand sized for a clear climb-through, not just daylight
• Locks, catches or handles checked from inside and out
• Opening and closing tested and the controls explained
• Clear opening size — We check the hatch's clear opening rather than its outer size.
• Energy performance of hatches — We check the hatch's published U-value against the limit that applies.

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 roof access hatch 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.

Regulations for Larne properties

Northern Ireland has its own rules. Permitted development for rooflights on a house requires the unit to sit below the highest part of the roof, project no more than 15 cm where the slope faces a road, and stay at least half a metre from the ridge, eaves, party wall and verge. It doesn't apply in conservation areas or within the grounds of a listed building. For building control, structural roof alterations need an application, and rooflights must meet WER Band C or 1.6 W/m²K.

Getting a price from photos

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 BT40, and we can price it.
