What we fit in Pontypridd
SkylightCompany.uk covers Pontypridd and the surrounding part of Mid Glamorgan, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere.
Pontypridd is around 10 km from Rhondda, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Mid Glamorgan, including the CF37 district.

Planning and building rules in Wales
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. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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: Pontypridd
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Pontypridd?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Pontypridd and across Mid Glamorgan. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Pontypridd free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Pontypridd?
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Pontypridd?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
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.
