Skylights and rooflights in Braintree
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Braintree and the CM7 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Barn conversions and timber-framed homes across the East often call for conservation rooflights or bespoke glass.
From Braintree to Witham, Chelmsford and Maldon, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
