Walk-on rooflight installation in Maesteg

Guide prices in Maesteg

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 Maesteg

Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Maesteg that means postcode districts CF34, CF32 and CF33, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Briton Ferry, about 7 miles away, or Neath at roughly 7 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.

What we check on a supplied unit

Your unit or ours, the fitting standard is the same. For supply and fit we choose a walk-on rooflight 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

• Engineer's calculations and the unit's loading data checked together
• Support frame or upstand prepared to the approved structural design
• Protective film removed and the anti-slip surface left clean
• Structural calculations — We need structural calculations for the glass and its support before a walk-on job goes ahead.
• Weight on delivery day — We plan the delivery and lift before booking any lifting gear or extra hands.

Fitting your walk-on rooflight, step by step

Where a job takes one to two days, the split is usually structural work first and finishing second. Early on, the fitters cut or prepare the opening, trim where needed and prepare the upstand or flashing. Then a walk-on rooflight is lifted in, fixed and made weathertight so the roof is sound before anyone moves inside. Plasterboard, trim and filler for the reveal come after. Each evening the work area is swept, and at the end the glass is cleaned and the team talks you through what was done.

Planning and building rules in Wales

For a Welsh home, start with where the house is. In a conservation area, National Park, AONB or World Heritage Site, a rooflight needs planning permission; outside those, permitted development usually covers one that projects 150 mm or less. Side-facing roof windows within 10.5 m of a boundary must be obscure-glazed and fixed. New openings need building regulations approval, and replacements we fit are notified with a building notice, as we are not registered with a competent person scheme. We confirm all of this for your address.

Before you get in touch

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 CF34, and we can price it.
