Rooflight replacement in Seaford

What the job costs in Seaford

Guide ranges for supply & fit; building control notice fee extra in England and Wales. 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 Seaford

Jobs across BN25, BN9 and BN10 are part of our normal cover for Seaford. 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 Peacehaven and Rottingdean 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 replacement 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

• New unit bedded, fixed and sealed exactly as its maker shows
• Kerb inspected for rot, height, level and fall once the old unit is off
• Old rooflight or dome unscrewed, lifted out and taken away for disposal
• Leaks that are not the rooflight — We look at the roof around the unit before blaming the rooflight.
• Dome to glass upgrades — We check that the opening and kerb suit a flat glass unit before quoting a dome-to-glass swap.

How a fitting day runs

On the day, you need to be in at the start and at the end. In between, the fitters get on with it. They will want the room below cleared where possible, a parking spot if you have one, and somewhere to set the unit down safely. After checking the opening and the upstand or flashing, they fix a replacement rooflight, seal it and finish the inside. Packaging and any old unit leave with them unless the quote says otherwise.

Planning, building control and Seaford

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

For fit-only work, the product details matter most: the link, the spec sheet, or a photo of the label on the box. Alongside that, send pictures of the roof and the ceiling below, approximate opening sizes, the type of roof covering, and how someone would get onto the roof. For supply and fit, the same photos and sizes do the job. Finish with your postcode, such as BN25.
