What do flat rooflights in Walton-on-Thames involve?
Flat rooflights in Walton-on-Thames means fixed double or triple glazed rooflights for flat roofs and extensions. We cover the KT12 district and the rest of Surrey, 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. Flat rooflights suit landings, bathrooms and rear extensions with flat roofs.
Walton-on-Thames is around 13 km from Woking, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Surrey, including the KT12 district.

Planning, building control and Walton-on-Thames
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about flat rooflights in Walton-on-Thames
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 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.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Walton-on-Thames?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Walton-on-Thames?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
