What we fit in Ryde
SkylightCompany.uk covers Ryde and the surrounding part of the Isle of Wight, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go.
From Ryde to Gosport, Sandown and Portsmouth, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.

Skylight questions: Ryde
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Ryde?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Ryde and across the Isle of Wight. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Ryde?
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.
Is the survey in Ryde 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 Ryde?
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 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.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
