Skylights and rooflights in Blackpool
From flat-roof extensions to period slate roofs, we fit the right rooflight for the building in Blackpool — after a survey, with a fixed written price.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms.
We work across Lancashire, including Blackpool, and in neighbouring towns such as Thornton-Cleveleys and Lytham St Annes. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

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.
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.
