Rooflights for Thetford homes and buildings
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Thetford and the IP24 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Many homes in the East have low-pitched roofs on later extensions, which are better served by flat rooflights than pitched roof windows.
Neighbouring towns include Bury St Edmunds (19 km) and Diss (25 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

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.

Do I need to be at home for the survey in Thetford?
