How we approach skylight installation in Wellington
Skylight installation in Wellington means survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. We cover the TF1 district and the rest of Shropshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. Typical uses for skylight installation include builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
Wellington is around 5 km from Telford, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Shropshire, including the TF1 district.

Consents for skylight installation in Wellington
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
