Loft conversion skylights in Gerrards Cross means roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. We cover the SL9 district and the rest of Buckinghamshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Think of loft conversion skylights for loft conversions and rooms in the roof.

Planning and building rules for Gerrards Cross
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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
