Rooflights for Morden homes and buildings
SkylightCompany.uk covers Morden and the surrounding part of Greater London, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
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.
We work across Greater London, including Morden, and in neighbouring towns such as Mitcham and Wimbledon. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

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. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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: Morden
Is the survey in Morden free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Morden?
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Morden?
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 Morden?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
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.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
