How we approach skylight installation in Havant
Skylight installation in Havant means survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. We cover the PO9 district and the rest of Hampshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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 Havant, and in neighbouring towns such as Waterlooville and Portsmouth. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Havant?
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
Do you work with builders?
Yes — on new extensions we fit to the builder's programme once the upstand or roof is ready.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged.
Can you work alongside my builder in Havant?
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 Havant?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
