Rooflights for Arnold homes and buildings
SkylightCompany.uk covers Arnold and the surrounding part of Nottinghamshire, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement.
We work across Nottinghamshire, including Arnold, and in neighbouring towns such as Nottingham and Hucknall. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules in England
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. 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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

How do I book a survey in Arnold?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Arnold?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Arnold?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Arnold and across Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
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.
