Rooflights for Royton homes and buildings
SkylightCompany.uk covers Royton and the surrounding part of Greater Manchester, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Converted mills and warehouses in the North West often have large rooflights or glass roofs that need specialist replacement.
Royton is around 12 km from Manchester, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater Manchester, including the OL2 district.

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.

It can on a south-facing roof with clear glass. Solar-control glass, an opening unit and a blind keep the room comfortable.
