What does skylight installation in Hawarden involve?
Our skylight installation service in Hawarden covers survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Think of skylight installation for builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
Hawarden is around 16 km from Wrexham, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Clwyd, including the CH5 district.

Planning, building control and Hawarden
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Skylight installation in Hawarden: questions
Do you fit rooflights bought elsewhere?
Yes. We check the product and the opening first, and our workmanship terms cover the fitting rather than the product.
Do I need a structural engineer?
For new openings that cut joists or rafters, a structural check is sensible and building control may ask for calculations.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hawarden?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
