Skylights and rooflights across West Yorkshire
SkylightCompany.uk covers the whole of West Yorkshire — homes, extensions, schools and commercial roofs — with a free survey for new installations.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome.
Stone-built terraces are common across Yorkshire, and roof windows in the rear slope are a popular way to light attic rooms.

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.
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. 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.

Common questions
Do you cover all of West Yorkshire?
Yes. We survey and fit across West Yorkshire, including Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield. Remote and island addresses are by arrangement.
Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in West Yorkshire?
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.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
