What does skylight installation in Mansfield involve?
Thinking about skylight installation in Mansfield? 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Typical uses for skylight installation include new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
We work across Nottinghamshire, including Mansfield, and in neighbouring towns such as Sutton in Ashfield and Kirkby in Ashfield. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for skylight installation in Mansfield
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.
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. 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.
