What do skylight blinds & solar control in Littlehampton involve?
Our skylight blinds & solar control service in Littlehampton covers electric blinds, blackout and solar-control upgrades for rooflights. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.

Planning, building control and Littlehampton
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.

A blind sealed between the panes of the glass unit. It never gets dusty or damaged, but is ordered with the unit.

For high rooflights you cannot reach, yes. Solar-powered models avoid new wiring.
