Walk-on rooflight installation in Horsham

Guide prices in Horsham

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.

Covering RH12 and neighbouring districts

Horsham and the districts around it, RH12, RH13 and RH11, all sit inside our working area. So does the ground between Horsham and Crawley (7 miles), and on towards Horley (11 miles). When a fitting team is booked, their travel is already in the quoted price, so it does not turn up as a surprise line on the final bill.

Your walk-on rooflights or ours

A damaged delivery is a frequent snag on fit-only work. Before the day, unpack a walk-on rooflight, photograph it, and tell the seller about any cracks or scuffs, because claims are much easier made early. We will also ask for the model or a link, so we can read the maker's instructions and check the builder's opening size and the upstand height it expects. If everything lines up, we fit it. If not, we explain what needs changing first.

Included in the work

• Protective film removed and the anti-slip surface left clean
• Lifting plan for the unit, including people or gear for the day
• Drainage around the unit checked so water does not lie on the glass
• Units tested to old standards — We check which standard the walk-on unit has been tested to.
• Structural calculations — We need structural calculations for the glass and its support before a walk-on job goes ahead.

What happens on the day

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 walk-on rooflight 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, building control and Horsham

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.

Before you get in touch

Each detail you send takes a question off our list. Photos inside and out show the opening and the ceiling. Rough measurements tell us the unit size. The roof covering tells us how it will be sealed in. Access notes tell us whether a tower or scaffold is needed. A product link, if you have one, lets us check it against the opening. Your postcode, RH12 or nearby, confirms travel.
