What do flat rooflights in Wrexham involve?
Flat rooflights in Wrexham means fixed double or triple glazed rooflights for flat roofs and extensions. We cover the LL13 district and the rest of Clwyd, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. Flat rooflights suit landings, bathrooms and rear extensions with flat roofs.
We cover all of Wrexham and the LL13 district, and nearby Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley.
Options we can specify in Wrexham
- Integral or fitted blinds
- Plastered or lined internal reveal
- Double or triple glazing

Things we check at survey
- Rooflights count toward glazing in an extension, which matters for Building Regulations energy and overheating rules
- The roof membrane must be dressed up the upstand before the unit goes on
Planning, building control and Wrexham
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Can a flat rooflight be walked on?
Not unless it is designed as a walk-on unit with structural laminated glass. A standard flat rooflight is for light only — if the roof is used as a terrace, choose a walk-on rooflight instead.
Can you fit into my existing flat roof?
Yes. We form a new opening, trim the joists, build and waterproof an upstand and make good the ceiling. A survey confirms the joist direction and roof build-up first.
Double or triple glazing?
Double glazing suits most domestic jobs. Triple glazing improves thermal performance and cuts noise from rain, which is worth it over bedrooms or where the energy calculation is tight.
How do I book a survey in Wrexham?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Wrexham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
