Loft conversion skylights for Norwich: the essentials
Our loft conversion skylights service in Norwich 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.
Many homes in the East have low-pitched roofs on later extensions, which are better served by flat rooflights than pitched roof windows. Loft conversion skylights suit loft conversions and rooms in the roof.
Norwich is the main town we list in Norfolk; we also cover nearby Wymondham and Great Yarmouth.

Do you need permission in Norwich?
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.

Common questions
Will the loft be cold near the windows?
Correctly fitted insulation collars and linings keep the window surround warm and reduce condensation.
Top-hung or centre-pivot in a loft?
Top-hung gives a clearer view and often suits escape use; centre-pivot is easier to clean and suits higher positions.
Can I add blinds later?
Yes — most manufacturers make blinds for each window size.
Is the survey in Norwich free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Norwich?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
