Planning and building rules in England
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Skylight questions: Bodmin
Is the survey in Bodmin 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 Bodmin?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Bodmin and across Cornwall. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Bodmin?
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Bodmin?
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.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
