What we fit in Wisbech
Looking for skylights in Wisbech? We handle survey, supply and fitting for homes and businesses across PE13 and nearby March and King's Lynn.
Many homes in the East have low-pitched roofs on later extensions, which are better served by flat rooflights than pitched roof windows.
We work across Cambridgeshire, including Wisbech, and in neighbouring towns such as March and King's Lynn. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules in England
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. 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.

Is the survey in Wisbech free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
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.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
