Rooflights for Eltham homes and buildings
Looking for skylights in Eltham? We handle survey, supply and fitting for homes and businesses across SE9 and nearby Blackheath and Welling.
Party walls are a fact of life in London terraces, and rooflights close to a shared wall need detailing that keeps the neighbour's side dry too.
We work across Greater London, including Eltham, and in neighbouring towns such as Blackheath and Welling. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

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. 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.
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. 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: Eltham
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Eltham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Eltham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.

Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Eltham and across Greater London. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
How do I book a survey in Eltham?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
What guarantees do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's own warranty, which we pass to you with the product data. Our workmanship terms are set out in the quote.

It can on a south-facing roof with clear glass. Solar-control glass, an opening unit and a blind keep the room comfortable.
