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. 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.
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. 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.

Skylight questions: Tiverton
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Tiverton?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Tiverton and across Devon. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Tiverton?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Tiverton free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Tiverton?
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.
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.
