Rooflights for Loughborough homes and buildings
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Loughborough and the LE11 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished.
Jobs in Loughborough are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

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.
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. 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.

Skylight questions: Loughborough
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Loughborough?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Will I need planning permission in Loughborough?
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.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Loughborough?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Loughborough and across Leicestershire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Loughborough?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do you take a deposit?
Nothing is paid until you accept a written quote. Made-to-measure products are ordered after you accept, we tell you in writing when the order is placed, and the quote states the payment stages.
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.
