Loft conversion skylights in Greenford: what is involved?
We handle loft conversion skylights across Greater London, including Greenford. 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.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. Think of loft conversion skylights for loft conversions and rooms in the roof.
From Greenford to Northolt, Southall and Ealing, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning, building control and Greenford
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Loft conversion skylights in Greenford: questions
Top-hung or centre-pivot in a loft?
Top-hung gives a clearer view and often suits escape use; centre-pivot is easier to clean and suits higher positions.
Do loft roof windows need to be escape windows?
Some loft rooms need an escape window, depending on the layout and the fire strategy for the conversion. Building control confirms the requirement.
Will the loft be cold near the windows?
Correctly fitted insulation collars and linings keep the window surround warm and reduce condensation.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Greenford?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Greenford free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
