Skylights and rooflights across Greater Manchester
Skylights, roof lanterns and roof windows fitted throughout Greater Manchester, from Manchester to Wigan, after a survey and a fixed written quote.
Exposed hillside towns in the North West need flashing and seal details that cope with wind-driven rain.
The North West gets more rain than most of England, so upstand height, membrane detailing and rain sensors on opening units are not optional extras.

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. 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.
