Loft conversion skylights for Clevedon: the essentials
Our loft conversion skylights service in Clevedon 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.
Barn and chapel conversions in the South West often need bespoke or shaped rooflights to suit the original structure. Typical uses for loft conversion skylights include loft conversions and rooms in the roof.
We work across Somerset, including Clevedon, and in neighbouring towns such as Nailsea and Portishead. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Clevedon
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. 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.
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
