Skylights and rooflights in Westhoughton
From flat-roof extensions to period slate roofs, we fit the right rooflight for the building in Westhoughton — after a survey, with a fixed written price.
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.
Jobs in Westhoughton are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

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. 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.
