What does skylight installation in Hazel Grove involve?
Our skylight installation service in Hazel Grove 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.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. Think of skylight installation for builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
We work across Greater Manchester, including Hazel Grove, and in neighbouring towns such as Stockport and Cheadle Hulme. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Hazel Grove?
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.

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.
