Sun tunnel installation in Hamilton

Hamilton 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 warrant fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.

Fitting across Hamilton and nearby

Distance is rarely the deciding factor. A roof in Motherwell, 2 miles from Hamilton, gets the same survey, the same written quote and the same fitting process as one in ML3, ML1 and ML4. What changes the price is the job itself: size of unit, roof type, access and lifting. Blantyre, around 3 miles out, is treated the same way.

Already bought your unit?

There are two ways to do this. Supply and fit means we source a sun tunnel 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.

What the job includes

• Ceiling opening cut neatly and the diffuser fitted
• Rigid or flexible tube run and joined, with as few bends as possible
• Dust cleared from the room below and the loft
• Length and bends in the tube — We plan the shortest, straightest route we can between the roof and the ceiling.
• Rigid or flexible tube — We check whether a rigid tube will fit the route before falling back on a flexible one.

What happens on the day

Arrive and agree the plan. Sheet the floor and furniture. Set up the ladder, tower or scaffold. Check the opening, the upstand or flashing, and the unit against the paperwork. Fix and pack a sun tunnel level. Seal it into the roof. Line the reveal or fit the ceiling trim. Clean the glass, clear the waste, and talk you through it. That is the shape of most fitting days, and for this type of job it usually takes half a day to a day.

Do you need permission in Hamilton?

In Scotland, forming a new rooflight opening needs a building warrant from the council, because the roof is being altered. Replacing an existing rooflight complete with its frame doesn't need a warrant, but the new unit still has to meet the building standards, including the 1.6 W/m²K energy figure for windows and rooflights in alterations. Planning depends on the house and where it is: householder permitted development rights don't apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need consent. We confirm this with you before quoting.

What to send for a quick 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 ML3, and we can price it.
