Loft conversion skylights for Haywards Heath: the essentials
For Haywards Heath homes and buildings we offer loft conversion skylights: roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Think of loft conversion skylights for attic bedrooms, offices and en-suites.
We work across West Sussex, including Haywards Heath, and in neighbouring towns such as Burgess Hill and Crawley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Haywards Heath
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.
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
Can you work alongside my loft builder?
Yes — we set out and fit the windows to the builder's programme.
Do loft roof windows need to be escape windows?
Some loft rooms need an escape window, depending on the layout and the fire strategy for the conversion. Building control confirms the requirement.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Haywards Heath?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
