Loft conversion skylights for Hammersmith: the essentials
Our loft conversion skylights service in Hammersmith 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.
London homes often run deep from front to back, so the middle of the ground floor is the darkest space — exactly where an overhead rooflight earns its keep. Typical uses for loft conversion skylights include attic bedrooms, offices and en-suites.
We work across Greater London, including Hammersmith, and in neighbouring towns such as Shepherds Bush and Chiswick. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Hammersmith
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. 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.
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.

Loft conversion skylights in Hammersmith: questions
How many roof windows does a loft room need?
Enough to give good light — a common rule of thumb is glazing equal to roughly a tenth to a fifth of the floor area, adjusted for orientation and use. We advise at survey.
Can you work alongside my loft builder?
Yes — we set out and fit the windows to the builder's programme.

Top-hung gives a clearer view and often suits escape use; centre-pivot is easier to clean and suits higher positions.
