Pitched roof window installation in Fleet

Fleet 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.

Is your address covered?

Jobs across GU51, GU13 and GU52 are part of our normal cover for Fleet. 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 Farnborough and Aldershot are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.

What we check on a supplied unit

Which works out better, buying your own or letting us supply? It depends on what you value. Buying your own gives you control of the product and what you pay for it. Letting us supply puts the whole job, unit and fitting, under one written quote. On a customer-supplied unit we still measure it against the opening, look at the upstand, and inspect the condition it arrived in. Warranty on the product sits with whoever sold it, while the fitting carries our own guarantee.

Included in the work

• Window frame fixed on its brackets, square and at the right height
• Flashing kit matched to tiles, slates or a recessed fit
• Rafters trimmed where the window is wider than the gap between them
• Head height and view — We think about how the window will be used from inside before fixing its height.
• Scaffold or not — We look at the roof height and the window position to see whether scaffolding is needed.

Fitting your pitched roof window, step by step

Arrive and agree the plan. Sheet the floor and furniture. Set up the ladder, tower or scaffold. Check the opening, the upstand or flashing, and the unit against the paperwork. Fix and pack a pitched roof window level. Seal it into the roof. Line the reveal or fit the ceiling trim. Clean the glass, clear the waste, and talk you through it. That is the shape of most fitting days, and for this type of job it usually takes one day.

Do you need permission in Fleet?

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, GU51 or a neighbouring district.
