Skylights and rooflights in Staines
SkylightCompany.uk covers Staines and the surrounding part of Surrey, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice.
We work across Surrey, including Staines, and in neighbouring towns such as Egham and Ashford, Surrey. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules in England
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. 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.

Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Staines free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Staines?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
Can I cancel?
