Skylights and rooflights across North Yorkshire
SkylightCompany.uk covers the whole of North Yorkshire — homes, extensions, schools and commercial roofs — with a free survey for new installations.
Conservation areas and stone villages across Yorkshire often call for conservation rooflights in slate or stone-slate roofs.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome.

Planning and building rules in England
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. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.

Yes. We survey and fit across North Yorkshire, including York, Middlesbrough and Harrogate. Remote and island addresses are by arrangement.
Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in North Yorkshire?
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line.
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.
