Sun tunnel installation in Nuneaton

Guide prices in Nuneaton

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.

Fitting across Nuneaton and nearby

Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Nuneaton that means postcode districts CV11, CV10 and CV12, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Bedworth, about 3 miles away, or Hinckley 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.

Fit-only or supply and fit

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.

On the day, we cover

• Rigid or flexible tube run and joined, with as few bends as possible
• Dust cleared from the room below and the loft
• Route through the loft checked for joists, cables and pipes
• Rigid or flexible tube — We check whether a rigid tube will fit the route before falling back on a flexible one.
• Length and bends in the tube — We plan the shortest, straightest route we can between the roof and the ceiling.

Fitting your sun tunnel, step by step

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 sun tunnel 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 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.

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 CV11, and we can price it.
