What does skylight installation in Cleethorpes involve?
For Cleethorpes homes and buildings we offer skylight installation: survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. In Cleethorpes, as anywhere, skylight installation is the usual choice for builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
We work across Lincolnshire, including Cleethorpes, and in neighbouring towns such as Grimsby and Hull. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose

Before you order: points to check

Do you need permission in Cleethorpes?
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Cleethorpes?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
