Rooflights for Exeter homes and buildings
SkylightCompany.uk covers Exeter and the surrounding part of Devon, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Barn and chapel conversions in the South West often need bespoke or shaped rooflights to suit the original structure.
We work across Devon, including Exeter, and in neighbouring towns such as Exmouth 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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
