Rooflights for Wallsend homes and buildings
From flat-roof extensions to period slate roofs, we fit the right rooflight for the building in Wallsend — after a survey, with a fixed written price.
North East terraces and colliery-town housing often have rear offshoots where a rooflight brightens a narrow kitchen.
Wallsend is around 5 km from Newcastle upon Tyne, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Tyne and Wear, including the NE28 district.

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.
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. 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.
