Skylights and rooflights in Northwich
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Northwich and the CW9 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Exposed hillside towns in the North West need flashing and seal details that cope with wind-driven rain.
From Northwich to Winsford, Warrington and Runcorn, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

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. 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.

Skylight questions: Northwich
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Northwich?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Northwich?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Northwich free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Northwich?
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.
Do you take a deposit?
Nothing is paid until you accept a written quote. Made-to-measure products are ordered after you accept, we tell you in writing when the order is placed, and the quote states the payment stages.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
