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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Will I need planning permission in High Wycombe?
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge.
Is the survey in High Wycombe free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in High Wycombe?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in High Wycombe and across Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in High Wycombe?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Will a rooflight make my room too hot?
It can on a south-facing roof with clear glass. Solar-control glass, an opening unit and a blind keep the room comfortable.
Can a skylight be fitted into an existing flat roof?
Yes. We form the opening, trim joists, build an insulated upstand, re-waterproof and make good the ceiling.
