Flat rooflights for Wymondham: the essentials
Our flat rooflights service in Wymondham covers fixed double or triple glazed rooflights for flat roofs and extensions. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
In the East of England, bungalows and chalet bungalows with large flat-roofed extensions are common, and they often suit a long run of rooflights. Think of flat rooflights for landings, bathrooms and rear extensions with flat roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Norwich (14 km) and Diss (21 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

What to check first
- New openings in an existing roof need a structural check on joists

Planning, building control and Wymondham
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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.

Flat rooflights in Wymondham: questions
Will it make the room too hot?
A big unglazed-to-sky area can add solar gain in summer. Solar-control glass, a blind, or pairing a fixed unit with an opening one keeps it comfortable.
How long does it take?
Fitting into a prepared upstand usually takes a day. Forming a new opening in an existing roof, including making good inside, is often two to three days.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Wymondham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Wymondham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
