Skylights and rooflights across East Sussex
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice.

Planning and building rules in England
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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.
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. 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.

Common questions
Do you cover all of East Sussex?
Yes. We survey and fit across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings. Remote and island addresses are by arrangement.
Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in East Sussex?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof.
How quickly can you fit?
Manufacturers typically quote two to four weeks for standard rooflights; bespoke, structural and motorised units take longer. Your quote states the lead time.
Can a skylight be fitted into an existing flat roof?
Yes. We form the opening, trim joists, build an insulated upstand, re-waterproof and make good the ceiling.
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.
