What we fit in Eastbourne
SkylightCompany.uk covers Eastbourne and the surrounding part of East Sussex, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement.
Eastbourne sits about 11 km from Hailsham and 13 km from Seaford, and we cover the whole BN21 postcode district and the roads in between.

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.
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.
