Guide ranges for supply & fit; controls and commissioning by a smoke-control specialist. 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 warrant fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.
Coverage in and around East Kilbride
Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In East Kilbride that means postcode districts G74, G72 and G73, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Cambuslang, about 3 miles away, or Blantyre at roughly 4 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.
Included in the work
- Old vent removed with the stairwell kept protected below
- New vent fitted, sealed and weathered into the roof
- Controls, detection and wiring handled by the smoke-control specialist
- Fire rules near escape routes — We check the roof around the vent for fire rules that affect it.
- Free area at the stair head — We check the free area the vent must provide before choosing a replacement.
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 smoke vent 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.
Planning and building rules in Scotland
A smoke vent replacement in Scotland has to match the certified performance the building relies on, with controls commissioned by a specialist. Whether a building warrant is needed depends on the work, and we confirm it before quoting.
Before you get in touch
Each detail you send takes a question off our list. Photos inside and out show the opening and the ceiling. Rough measurements tell us the unit size. The roof covering tells us how it will be sealed in. Access notes tell us whether a tower or scaffold is needed. A product link, if you have one, lets us check it against the opening. Your postcode, G74 or nearby, confirms travel.
Common questions in East Kilbride
Can you remove and dispose of the old rooflight?
Yes. Taking out the old unit is part of any replacement job, and it leaves with the rest of the waste unless you ask to keep it. Old domes, glass and frames go through proper waste routes. If removal turns up a rotten kerb or damaged decking, we show you what we have found and agree the repair with you before going any further.
Do you cover East Kilbride?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in East Kilbride and the surrounding districts, including G74. 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 if my roof opening is the wrong size for the smoke vent rooflight?
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.
