Rooflights for Maldon homes and buildings
SkylightCompany.uk covers Maldon and the surrounding part of Essex, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Flat, open landscape in much of the East means roofs take the wind, so upstand and seal details matter more than the brand of glass.
Neighbouring towns include Witham (8 km) and Chelmsford (14 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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: Maldon
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Maldon?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Maldon and across Essex. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Maldon 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 Maldon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Maldon?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
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.
