Skylights and rooflights in Bentley
Looking for skylights in Bentley? We handle survey, supply and fitting for homes and businesses across DN5 and nearby Doncaster and Rotherham.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome.
We work across South Yorkshire, including Bentley, and in neighbouring towns such as Doncaster and Rotherham. 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.
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: Bentley
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Bentley?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Will I need planning permission in Bentley?
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.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Bentley?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Bentley and across South Yorkshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Bentley free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
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.
