Skylights and rooflights in Ampthill
SkylightCompany.uk covers Ampthill and the surrounding part of Bedfordshire, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement.
Jobs in Ampthill are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning and building rules in England
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
