Guide prices in Aldridge

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 Aldridge and nearby

Jobs across WS9, WS4 and WS8 are part of our normal cover for Aldridge. 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 Walsall and Bloxwich are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.

Fit-only or supply and fit

There are two ways to do this. Supply and fit means we source a sliding rooflight 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.

Included in the work

• Controls, sensors and any safety stop set up and tested
• Frame fixed and weathered with the membrane dressed up the kerb
• Clear run confirmed for the glass to slide over when open
• Power and safety stops — We confirm the power supply and the safety features before fitting day.
• Weight and lifting — We plan the lift for a sliding rooflight before it is ordered.

From arrival to clean-up

Where a job takes one to two days, the split is usually structural work first and finishing second. Early on, the fitters cut or prepare the opening, trim where needed and prepare the upstand or flashing. Then a sliding rooflight is lifted in, fixed and made weathertight so the roof is sound before anyone moves inside. Plasterboard, trim and filler for the reveal come after. Each evening the work area is swept, and at the end the glass is cleaned and the team talks you through what was done.

Regulations for Aldridge properties

Replacing a rooflight in an English home is a controlled fitting: it has to be self-certified by a scheme-registered installer or notified to building control. We are not registered with a competent person scheme, so replacements we fit are notified with a building notice, and the new unit has to meet current energy limits. Adding a new one usually means a building regulations application, because joists or rafters are trimmed. On the planning side, most house rooflights are permitted development if they project 0.15 m or less; on a side slope the glass must be obscured and fixed unless the opening part is over 1.7 m above the floor.

Details that speed up your quote

Keep it simple. Two or three photos, outside and inside. Approximate sizes. What the roof is made of. Anything awkward about getting up there, such as a conservatory below, a narrow side path or no parking. If you bought the rooflight online, the link or model name. Then your postcode in or around WS9. That is enough for a first price.
