Skylight installation in Bentley: what is involved?
For Bentley 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.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome. Skylight installation suits new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
Neighbouring towns include Doncaster (2 km) and Rotherham (18 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Bentley
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
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.
Our planning guide covers each nation in more detail.

Common questions
Do you work with builders?
Yes — on new extensions we fit to the builder's programme once the upstand or roof is ready.
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.
Is the survey in Bentley free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Bentley?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
