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. 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.
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. 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.

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