Towns we list in Fife
From the larger towns to the smaller places in between, we take on rooflight fitting across Fife. The process is the same for a terrace, a farmhouse extension or an industrial unit: details first, written quote second, fitting day third. Remote and island addresses in Scotland, where they arise, are covered by arrangement, and we tell you that before quoting.
- Roof windows in Dunfermline
- Roof windows in Glenrothes
- Roof windows in Kirkcaldy
- Roof windows in St Andrews
What's included
- Window frame fixed on its brackets, square and at the right height
- Rafters trimmed where the window is wider than the gap between them
- Underlay collar or membrane dressed and taped around the frame
- Scaffold or not — We look at the roof height and the window position to see whether scaffolding is needed.
- Flashing to suit the roof — We match the flashing kit to your roof covering before ordering.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, forming a new rooflight opening needs a building warrant from the council, because the roof is being altered. Replacing an existing rooflight complete with its frame doesn't need a warrant, but the new unit still has to meet the building standards, including the 1.6 W/m²K energy figure for windows and rooflights in alterations. Planning depends on the house and where it is: householder permitted development rights don't apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need consent. We confirm this with you before quoting.
Common questions in Fife
What if my roof opening is the wrong size for the pitched roof window?
We find out before the fitting day, not on it. If the opening is slightly out, it can usually be adjusted by trimming or by packing out the upstand. If it is a long way off, the choice is between altering the opening and changing the unit. Bear in mind that rooflights are often sold by builder's opening size rather than external size, so check which one your measurement refers to.
Do you cover Fife?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Fife and the surrounding districts, including DD and KY postcodes. We do not run an office there; the survey and the fitting happen at your property. A few island and remote postcodes are covered by arrangement; if yours is one, we confirm travel and dates before quoting.
What is included in the price?
The written quote lists it line by line. Typically that covers fitting labour, fixings, sealants, membrane or flashing materials, any upstand work, internal finishing if agreed, and taking away the waste. For supply and fit, the unit itself is included too. Scaffold, lifting gear and any third-party fees, where needed, are shown separately so you can see what each part of the job costs.
