Skylight installation for Rhosllannerchrugog: the essentials
Thinking about skylight installation in Rhosllannerchrugog? The short answer: survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best. Skylight installation suits builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
Rhosllannerchrugog sits about 6 km from Wrexham and 18 km from Buckley, and we cover the whole LL14 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules for Rhosllannerchrugog
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
How long does installation take?
Fitting into a prepared upstand takes about a day. A new opening in an existing roof, including making good, often takes two to three days.
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.
Who handles building control?
We tell you which route applies — building control approval, a building warrant in Scotland, or in England and Wales self-certification by a registered competent person — and supply the product data.
Is the survey in Rhosllannerchrugog 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 Rhosllannerchrugog?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
