What does skylight installation in Cromer involve?
We handle skylight installation across Norfolk, including Cromer. In short: survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Barn conversions and timber-framed homes across the East often call for conservation rooflights or bespoke glass. Skylight installation suits new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
We work across Norfolk, including Cromer, and in neighbouring towns such as Fakenham and Norwich. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for skylight installation in Cromer
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.

Skylight installation in Cromer: 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.
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Cromer?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
