What do loft conversion skylights in Newquay involve?
We handle loft conversion skylights across Cornwall, including Newquay. In short: roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Western coasts take wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to upstand height and flashing laps on exposed roofs. Loft conversion skylights suit attic bedrooms, offices and en-suites.
Newquay is around 17 km from Truro, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Cornwall, including the TR7 district.
What you can choose
- Blackout and thermal blinds

Before you order: points to check
- Front roof slopes can be restricted in conservation areas
- Rafter spacing affects window widths
Planning and building rules for Newquay
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
