What we fit in Dover
SkylightCompany.uk covers Dover and the surrounding part of Kent, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
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.
From Dover to Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury, 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. 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.
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.
