Sliding rooflight installation in Mirfield

Mirfield 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.

Where our fitters travel

Jobs across WF14, WF15 and WF13 are part of our normal cover for Mirfield. 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 Liversedge and Heckmondwike are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.

Buying your own, or letting us supply

If you have bought a sliding rooflight yourself, we check four things before fitting. First, the delivery: open it, look for chips, cracks and bent frames, and report any damage to the seller straight away. Second, the size, measured against the builder's opening rather than the external frame. Third, the upstand height above the finished roof. Fourth, the maker's instructions, which set the fixings and sealing. Product warranty claims go to the seller and maker; our guarantee is for how it was fitted.

Included in the work

• Cable routed to the motor, ready for the electrician's final connection, quoted as a separate line
• Frame fixed and weathered with the membrane dressed up the kerb
• Clear run confirmed for the glass to slide over when open
• What the glass slides over — We check the area the glass will cover when open before deciding where the unit goes.
• Guarding on the terrace — We look at how the roof terrace will be guarded before the rooflight is fitted.

From arrival to clean-up

Fitting days start with a look at the sky. If rain is due, the order of work changes so the roof is never left open to it. A typical day for a sliding rooflight runs like this: set up access, protect the room, open up the roof or prepare the existing kerb or frame, check sizes, fix, seal, then finish inside. On jobs that take more than a day, the opening is weather-sealed overnight. The last hour goes on tidying, waste removal and a walk-round with you.

Regulations for Mirfield properties

Two sets of rules matter in England. Planning: a rooflight on a house is normally permitted development if it projects no more than 0.15 m and stays below the highest part of the roof, but flats, listed buildings and Article 4 areas need checking. Building regulations: new openings need approval for the structure and energy performance, and a replacement is a controlled fitting. We are not registered with a competent person scheme, so we notify replacements to building control with a building notice and put the council's fee on the quote.

Details that speed up your quote

Start with your phone. Take a picture of the roof where the unit goes or already sits, then one from inside looking up. Measure what you can, even roughly. Tell us what the roof is covered with and how a fitter would reach it: ladder, garden access or scaffold. Bought it already? Send the link or spec. Add your full postcode, for example in WF14, and we can price it.
