Planning and building rules for Felling
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. 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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Typically two to four days once the walls and supports are ready, depending on length and access.
Can it be partly solid?
Yes — part-glazed, part-insulated roofs balance light and heat.
Is the survey in Felling free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Felling?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
