Loft conversion skylights for Tenby: the essentials
For Tenby homes and buildings we offer loft conversion skylights: roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Typical uses for loft conversion skylights include loft conversions and rooms in the roof.
Tenby is around 37 km from Llanelli, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Dyfed, including the SA70 district.
What you can choose
- Electric or solar opening
- Combination and stacked layouts
- Centre-pivot or top-hung
- Conservation styles
- Blackout and thermal blinds
- Fits alongside dormers
- Electric opening for high windows
Things we check at survey
- Front roof slopes can be restricted in conservation areas
- Insulation and vapour control details matter for condensation
Consents for loft conversion skylights in Tenby
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
