Loft conversion skylights for Yateley: the essentials
We handle loft conversion skylights across Hampshire, including Yateley. 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. In Yateley, as anywhere, loft conversion skylights are the usual choice for attic bedrooms, offices and en-suites.
From Yateley to Sandhurst, Crowthorne and Camberley, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Choices for your Yateley project

Before you order: points to check

Consents for loft conversion skylights in Yateley
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
