Skylights and rooflights in Bideford
SkylightCompany.uk covers Bideford and the surrounding part of Devon, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Western coasts take wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to upstand height and flashing laps on exposed roofs.
We work across Devon, including Bideford, and in neighbouring towns such as Barnstaple and Tiverton. 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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
