Skylights and rooflights in Leytonstone
From flat-roof extensions to period slate roofs, we fit the right rooflight for the building in Leytonstone — after a survey, with a fixed written price.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day.
From Leytonstone to Walthamstow, Hackney and Stratford, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

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. 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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Leytonstone and across Greater London. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Leytonstone?
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.
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.
