What does skylight installation in Ammanford involve?
Thinking about skylight installation in Ammanford? 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.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. Skylight installation suits new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
From Ammanford to Pontardawe, Gorseinon and Ystradgynlais, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Do you need permission in Ammanford?
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. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged.

Yes. We carry out skylight installation in Ammanford and across Dyfed. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
