Skylight installation for Hyde: the essentials
We handle skylight installation across Greater Manchester, including Hyde. 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.
Exposed hillside towns in the North West need flashing and seal details that cope with wind-driven rain. Skylight installation suits new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
We work across Greater Manchester, including Hyde, and in neighbouring towns such as Denton and Dukinfield. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- New openings with joist trimming
- Internal plaster reveal
- Supply and fit
- Electrics coordination
- Upstands and flashings
- Making good inside included
- Fitting for builders on new extensions
Things we check at survey
- Building Regulations approval (a building warrant in Scotland) may be needed
- Fit-only work relies on the product being suitable and complete
Consents for skylight installation in Hyde
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. 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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Skylight installation in Hyde: questions
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hyde?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Hyde?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
