Rooflights for Folkestone homes and buildings
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Folkestone and the CT19 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement.
Folkestone sits about 11 km from Dover and 22 km from Ashford, Kent, and we cover the whole CT19 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules in England
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.
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. 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.
