What we fit in Sidcup
Looking for skylights in Sidcup? We handle survey, supply and fitting for homes and businesses across DA14 and nearby Bexley and Welling.
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 Sidcup, and in neighbouring towns such as Bexley and Welling. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

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.
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: Sidcup
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Sidcup?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Sidcup 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 Sidcup?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Sidcup?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Sidcup free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
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.
