What we fit in Christchurch
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Christchurch and the BH23 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Holiday lets and second homes across the South West often want roof windows with blinds and remote opening for when the house is empty.
From Christchurch to Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Skylight questions: Christchurch
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Christchurch?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Christchurch?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Christchurch and across Dorset. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Christchurch free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Christchurch?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
What guarantees do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's own warranty, which we pass to you with the product data. Our workmanship terms are set out in the quote.
