What does skylight installation in Bexhill-on-Sea involve?
Our skylight installation service in Bexhill-on-Sea 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Think of skylight installation for new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.

Planning, building control and Bexhill-on-Sea
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged.
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 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.
Will I need planning permission in Bexhill-on-Sea?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof.
Can you work alongside my builder in Bexhill-on-Sea?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
