Skylights and rooflights in Hatfield
From flat-roof extensions to period slate roofs, we fit the right rooflight for the building in Hatfield — after a survey, with a fixed written price.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors.
Hatfield is around 17 km from Watford, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Hertfordshire, including the AL10 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.

Skylight questions: Hatfield
Is the survey in Hatfield free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Hatfield?
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.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Hatfield?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Hatfield and across Hertfordshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hatfield?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
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.
