What we fit in Godalming
SkylightCompany.uk covers Godalming and the surrounding part of Surrey, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement.
From Godalming to Guildford, Aldershot and Farnham, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

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.
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Skylight questions: Godalming
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Godalming?
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 Godalming?
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 you fit skylights and rooflights in Godalming?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Godalming and across Surrey. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Godalming?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
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.
