Roof windows for loft conversions

A loft room lives or dies by its daylight. We set out roof windows on the rafters before boarding, size escape windows where needed and add blinds for bedrooms.

  • Window set-out before plasterboard goes up
  • Escape-type roof windows where building control requires
  • Blackout blinds and electric opening for high windows
  • Conservation styles for sensitive roofs

Questions

How quickly can you fit?

Manufacturers typically quote two to four weeks for standard rooflights; bespoke, structural and motorised units take longer. Your quote states the lead time.

Do I need planning permission?

Usually not for a rooflight on a house within the permitted development limits. Rules differ by nation: flats are not covered, listed buildings need listed building consent, and in Wales, Scotland and NI a rooflight in a conservation area needs permission. See our planning guide.

Do I need building regulations approval?

New openings and extensions go through building control. In England and Wales, replacements can often be self-certified through a competent person scheme; Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own routes. We tell you which applies.

Can a skylight be fitted into an existing flat roof?

Yes. We form the opening, trim joists, build an insulated upstand, re-waterproof and make good the ceiling.
