Skylights and rooflights in Deeside
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Deeside and the CH5 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere.
Deeside sits about 2 km from Hawarden and 5 km from Buckley, and we cover the whole CH5 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules in Wales
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Skylight questions: Deeside
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Deeside?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Deeside and across Clwyd. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Deeside free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Deeside?
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed.
How do I book a survey in Deeside?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
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.
