Skylights and rooflights in Heywood
SkylightCompany.uk covers Heywood and the surrounding part of Greater Manchester, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed.
From Heywood to Rochdale, Bury and Royton, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

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. 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. 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.

How do I book a survey in Heywood?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.

Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.

Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Heywood and across Greater Manchester. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can I cancel?
Made-to-measure products are excluded from the statutory 14-day cancellation right, but you can cancel without charge until we place the order with the manufacturer. Our terms explain the rest.
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.
