What does skylight installation in Ossett involve?
Thinking about skylight installation in Ossett? 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.
Exposed Pennine and coastal towns in Yorkshire need upstand and flashing details built for wind-driven rain. In Ossett, as anywhere, skylight installation is the usual choice for builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
We work across West Yorkshire, including Ossett, and in neighbouring towns such as Dewsbury and Batley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Before you order: points to check

Consents for skylight installation in Ossett
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.

Yes. We check the product and the opening first, and our workmanship terms cover the fitting rather than the product.
