Skylights and rooflights across Northumberland
Skylights, roof lanterns and roof windows fitted throughout Northumberland, from Blyth to Ashington, after a survey and a fixed written quote.
Stone villages inland in the North East can have conservation areas where low-profile rooflights are preferred.
Coastal exposure along the North East means we look closely at frame finishes and seals.

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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Northumberland?
Yes. We survey and fit across Northumberland, including Blyth, Cramlington and Ashington. Remote and island addresses are by arrangement.
Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Northumberland?
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.
Are you accredited?
We do not display trade-body logos unless a membership is held and current. Product certifications belong to the manufacturers and we provide their documents.
What guarantees do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's own warranty, which we pass to you with the product data. Our workmanship terms are set out in the quote.
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.
