What does skylight installation in Bordon involve?
Thinking about skylight installation in Bordon? 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Skylight installation suits new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
We work across Hampshire, including Bordon, and in neighbouring towns such as Farnham and Aldershot. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Bordon?
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about skylight installation in Bordon
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Bordon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Will I need planning permission in Bordon?
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.
