Skylights and rooflights in Kidsgrove

Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement.
Jobs in Kidsgrove 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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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. 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: Kidsgrove
Will I need planning permission in Kidsgrove?
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.
Is the survey in Kidsgrove free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Kidsgrove?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Kidsgrove and across Staffordshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
How do I book a survey in Kidsgrove?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
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.
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.
