What do loft conversion skylights in Crewe involve?
Our loft conversion skylights service in Crewe covers roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. Loft conversion skylights suit loft conversions and rooms in the roof.
Crewe sits about 12 km from Winsford and 14 km from Kidsgrove, and we cover the whole CW1 postcode district and the roads in between.

Consents for loft conversion skylights in Crewe
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.
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. 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.
