Sun tunnel installation in Heysham

Guide prices in Heysham

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.

Coverage in and around Heysham

Distance is rarely the deciding factor. A roof in Morecambe, 2 miles from Heysham, gets the same survey, the same written quote and the same fitting process as one in LA3, LA4 and LA1. What changes the price is the job itself: size of unit, roof type, access and lifting. Lancaster, around 4 miles out, is treated the same way.

Buying your own, or letting us supply

Your unit or ours, the fitting standard is the same. For supply and fit we choose a sun tunnel to suit the roof and price it with the installation. For fit-only we work with what you have, after confirming it arrived undamaged, that it matches the builder's opening, and that the upstand will sit at the height the maker asks for. Report any transit damage to the seller, as the product cover is theirs and the maker's. Our written guarantee applies to the fitting itself.

On the day, we cover

• Roof opening cut and the flashing fitted to tiles, slates or a flat-roof kit
• Dust cleared from the room below and the loft
• Rigid or flexible tube run and joined, with as few bends as possible
• Flat or pitched roof kit — We confirm the roof type and covering before ordering the kit.
• 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

On the day, you need to be in at the start and at the end. In between, the fitters get on with it. They will want the room below cleared where possible, a parking spot if you have one, and somewhere to set the unit down safely. After checking the opening and the upstand or flashing, they fix a sun tunnel, seal it and finish the inside. Packaging and any old unit leave with them unless the quote says otherwise.

Planning and building rules in England

England's rules in short: permitted development usually covers a rooflight on a house roof provided it doesn't stick out more than 0.15 m or rise above the ridge, though a listed building always needs consent and some streets have Article 4 directions. Building regulations apply to new openings, and replacements go through building control; as we are not registered with a competent person scheme, we use a building notice and show the fee on the quote. The energy limit for rooflights in existing homes is 2.2 W/m²K, and the 2026 Approved Document L, in force from 24 March 2027, keeps that figure.

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 LA3, and we can price it.
