Skylights and rooflights in Alnwick
From flat-roof extensions to period slate roofs, we fit the right rooflight for the building in Alnwick — after a survey, with a fixed written price.
Older flat-roofed extensions in the North East are often due a new roof covering — the right time to upgrade the rooflight too.
Jobs in Alnwick are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

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.
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.

Skylight questions: Alnwick
Can you work alongside my builder in Alnwick?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Alnwick free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Will I need planning permission in Alnwick?
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Alnwick?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
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.
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.
