Skylight installation in Tenby: what is involved?
We handle skylight installation across Dyfed, including Tenby. In short: survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere. Think of skylight installation for builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
Neighbouring towns include Pembroke Dock (16 km) and Haverfordwest (23 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Tenby
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. 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.
