Rooflights for Cirencester homes and buildings
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Cirencester and the GL7 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Holiday lets and second homes across the South West often want roof windows with blinds and remote opening for when the house is empty.
Cirencester sits about 16 km from Stroud and 21 km from Cheltenham, and we cover the whole GL7 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules in England
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.

Skylight questions: Cirencester
Will I need planning permission in Cirencester?

Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Cirencester?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Cirencester and across Gloucestershire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Cirencester free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Cirencester?
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.
