Towns we list in Greater London

Coverage in Greater London works by postcode, not by distance from an office. Give us the full postcode and we will confirm whether it is standard cover, as it is for most of England, or one of the few remote and island areas handled by arrangement. Either way, you get a written quote before any work is booked, with travel included in the price.

What's included

Dust cleared from the room below and the loft
Roof opening cut and the flashing fitted to tiles, slates or a flat-roof kit
Ceiling opening cut neatly and the diffuser fitted
Rigid or flexible tube — We check whether a rigid tube will fit the route before falling back on a flexible one.
Flat or pitched roof kit — We confirm the roof type and covering before ordering the kit.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Common questions in Greater London

Do you cover Greater London?

Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Greater London and the surrounding districts, including BR, CR, DA, E, EC, EN, HA, IG, KT, N, NW, RM, SE, SM, SW, TN, TW, UB, W and WC postcodes. 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.

Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Greater London?

Often not. Many rooflights fall under permitted development, provided they do not project beyond the national limit and meet the other conditions that apply in England. Conservation areas, listed buildings and some flats are different and may need consent. Because the rules depend on the property, we confirm what is likely to apply at your address and point you to the planning authority where an application is needed.

Do you need scaffolding to fit a rooflight?

Not always. Single-storey roofs can often be reached safely with ladders, a tower or edge protection. Higher roofs, steep pitches and large units usually need scaffold or a mobile platform, and heavy glass may need a crane. We assess access from your photos or at the survey, and any scaffold or lifting cost is shown as its own line on the written quote.
