Loft conversion skylights for Hampton: the essentials
Loft conversion skylights in Hampton means roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. We cover the TW12 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Party walls are a fact of life in London terraces, and rooflights close to a shared wall need detailing that keeps the neighbour's side dry too. Typical uses for loft conversion skylights include attic bedrooms, offices and en-suites.
From Hampton to Sunbury-on-Thames, Walton-on-Thames and Twickenham, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning and building rules for Hampton
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. 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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
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.
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 I add blinds later?
Yes — most manufacturers make blinds for each window size.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hampton?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Hampton free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
