What we fit in Lewisham
Looking for skylights in Lewisham? We handle survey, supply and fitting for homes and businesses across SE13 and nearby Catford and Peckham.
London homes often run deep from front to back, so the middle of the ground floor is the darkest space — exactly where an overhead rooflight earns its keep.
Jobs in Lewisham are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

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. 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: Lewisham
Can you work alongside my builder in Lewisham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Lewisham 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 Lewisham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Lewisham?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Lewisham and across Greater London. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
Can a skylight be fitted into an existing flat roof?
Yes. We form the opening, trim joists, build an insulated upstand, re-waterproof and make good the ceiling.
