Skylights and rooflights in Welshpool
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Welshpool and the SY21 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere.
Welshpool sits about 19 km from Newtown and 39 km from Rhosllannerchrugog, and we cover the whole SY21 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules in Wales
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.

Skylight questions: Welshpool
Is the survey in Welshpool free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Welshpool?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Welshpool?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Welshpool and across Powys. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Welshpool?
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission.
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.
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.
