Rooflights for Aberystwyth homes and buildings
Looking for skylights in Aberystwyth? We handle survey, supply and fitting for homes and businesses across SY23 and nearby Machynlleth and Dolgellau.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best.
Jobs in Aberystwyth are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning and building rules in Wales
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.

Skylight questions: Aberystwyth
Will I need planning permission in Aberystwyth?
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites.
Is the survey in Aberystwyth free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.

Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Aberystwyth and across Dyfed. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
How do I book a survey in Aberystwyth?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
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.
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.
