How we approach skylight installation in Maesteg
Thinking about skylight installation in Maesteg? 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.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Typical uses for skylight installation include builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
Maesteg sits about 9 km from Port Talbot and 11 km from Briton Ferry, and we cover the whole CF34 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Maesteg?
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
