Roof lantern installation in Yeadon

Guide prices in Yeadon

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 Yeadon and nearby

Distance is rarely the deciding factor. A roof in Guiseley, 1 mile from Yeadon, gets the same survey, the same written quote and the same fitting process as one in LS19, LS20 and LS18. What changes the price is the job itself: size of unit, roof type, access and lifting. Horsforth, around 3 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 roof lantern 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

• Glass lifted and laid into the frame by hand or with gear
• Caps, end closures and ridge trims fitted and sealed
• Internal trims fitted to the ring beam or upstand
• Level, not to a fall — We set or check the kerb level unless your lantern's maker says otherwise.
• Lanterns and planning — We check whether your lantern can go in without a planning application.

Fitting your roof lantern, 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 roof lantern 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.

Planning and building rules in England

England's rules in short: permitted development usually covers a rooflight on a house roof provided it doesn't stick out more than 0.15 m or rise above the ridge, though a listed building always needs consent and some streets have Article 4 directions. Building regulations apply to new openings, and replacements go through building control; as we are not registered with a competent person scheme, we use a building notice and show the fee on the quote. The energy limit for rooflights in existing homes is 2.2 W/m²K, and the 2026 Approved Document L, in force from 24 March 2027, keeps that figure.

Getting a price from photos

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, LS19 or a neighbouring district.
