Skylights and rooflights in Sunbury-on-Thames
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights in Sunbury-on-Thames and the TW16 district — flat rooflights, roof lanterns, roof windows, walk-on glass, sun tunnels and commercial rooflights.
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 Sunbury-on-Thames, and in neighbouring towns such as Walton-on-Thames and Hampton. 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. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.

Fixed or opening?
