Rooflights for Margate homes and buildings
SkylightCompany.uk covers Margate and the surrounding part of Kent, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice.
From Margate to Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Deal, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

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. 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.
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. 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.

Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Margate and across Kent. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Margate?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
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.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
