What does skylight installation in Welshpool involve?
For Welshpool 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.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. Think of skylight installation for builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
From Welshpool to Newtown, Rhosllannerchrugog and Wrexham, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
What you can choose
- New openings with joist trimming
- Internal plaster reveal
- Fit only (customer-supplied units)
- Electrics coordination
- Supply and fit
- Fixed price in writing before work
- Fitting for builders on new extensions
Before you order: points to check
- Building Regulations approval (a building warrant in Scotland) may be needed
- Work at height is planned with suitable access
Planning and building rules for Welshpool
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
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. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Skylight installation in Welshpool: questions
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 you work with builders?
Yes — on new extensions we fit to the builder's programme once the upstand or roof is ready.
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.
Will I need planning permission in Welshpool?
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission.
Is the survey in Welshpool free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
