Loft conversion skylights in Morden: what is involved?
Thinking about loft conversion skylights in Morden? The short answer: roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
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. Loft conversion skylights suit loft conversions and rooms in the roof.
Morden is around 13 km from central London, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Greater London, including the SM4 district.

Do you need permission in Morden?
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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
