We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Sittingbourne and the ME10 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go.

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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Skylight questions: Sittingbourne
Is the survey in Sittingbourne free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Sittingbourne?
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 Sittingbourne?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Sittingbourne and across Kent. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Sittingbourne?
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 a skylight be fitted into an existing flat roof?
Yes. We form the opening, trim joists, build an insulated upstand, re-waterproof and make good the ceiling.
