Skylight blinds & solar control in Bordon means electric blinds, blackout and solar-control upgrades for rooflights. We cover the GU35 district and the rest of Hampshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. In Bordon, as anywhere, skylight blinds & solar control are the usual choice for rooflights that let in glare, heat or early light.

Do you need permission in Bordon?
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.
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
