Rooflights for Pontypool homes and buildings
SkylightCompany.uk covers Pontypool and the surrounding part of Gwent, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen.
Pontypool sits about 5 km from Cwmbran and 11 km from Risca, and we cover the whole NP4 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules in Wales
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.

Skylight questions: Pontypool
Is the survey in Pontypool free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Pontypool?
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed.
Can you work alongside my builder in Pontypool?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Pontypool?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
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.
Do you take a deposit?
Nothing is paid until you accept a written quote. Made-to-measure products are ordered after you accept, we tell you in writing when the order is placed, and the quote states the payment stages.
