Skylights and rooflights in Aberdare
Looking for skylights in Aberdare? We handle survey, supply and fitting for homes and businesses across CF44 and nearby Rhondda and Merthyr Tydfil.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere.
From Aberdare to Rhondda, Merthyr Tydfil and Tonypandy, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning and building rules in Wales
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.

Skylight questions: Aberdare
How do I book a survey in Aberdare?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Aberdare?
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Aberdare?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Aberdare and across Mid Glamorgan. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Aberdare free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
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.
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.
