Frameless structural rooflights for Haywards Heath: the essentials
Our frameless structural rooflights service in Haywards Heath covers minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Typical uses for frameless structural rooflights include architect-led extensions and long slots of light over islands or along party walls.
Neighbouring towns include Burgess Hill (5 km) and Crawley (14 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Haywards Heath?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
