How we approach skylight installation in Bangor, Gwynedd
Thinking about skylight installation in Bangor, Gwynedd? 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. Typical uses for skylight installation include builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.

Planning and building rules for Bangor, Gwynedd
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.

Skylight installation in Bangor, Gwynedd: questions
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.
Do you work with builders?
Yes — on new extensions we fit to the builder's programme once the upstand or roof is ready.
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 offer skylight installation in Bangor, Gwynedd?
Yes. We carry out skylight installation in Bangor, Gwynedd and across Gwynedd. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Bangor, Gwynedd?
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.
