How we approach flat rooflights in Bordon
Flat rooflights in Bordon means fixed double or triple glazed rooflights for flat roofs and extensions. We cover the GU35 district and the rest of Hampshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. In Bordon, as anywhere, flat rooflights are the usual choice for landings, bathrooms and rear extensions with flat roofs.
Bordon is around 44 km from Southampton, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Hampshire, including the GU35 district.
What you can choose
- Integral or fitted blinds
- Square, rectangular or long-format sizes
- Insulated kerb or timber upstand built to suit
- Rain sensor if paired with an opening unit
- Solar-control or self-cleaning outer pane
- Even, top-down daylight across the whole room
- Inner pane laminated for safety overhead
What to check first
- Needs a properly formed upstand — usually at least 150 mm above the finished roof surface (check the manufacturer's figure)
- New openings in an existing roof need a structural check on joists
Planning and building rules for Bordon
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. 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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about flat rooflights in Bordon
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.
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.
Do flat rooflights leak?
A well-fitted flat rooflight should not leak. Leaks almost always come from the upstand or membrane detailing, not the glass unit, which is why the upstand height and the way the roof covering is dressed up and under the frame matter more than the brand.
