Loft conversion skylights for Havant: the essentials
Our loft conversion skylights service in Havant 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Loft conversion skylights suit attic bedrooms, offices and en-suites.
We work across Hampshire, including Havant, and in neighbouring towns such as Waterlooville and Portsmouth. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Havant

Before you order: points to check

Do you need permission in Havant?
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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. 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.
