Planning, building control and Pwllheli
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. 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 repairs & leak fixes in Pwllheli: questions
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
Why is my skylight leaking?
Common causes are a failed seal, a membrane that has split or lifted at the upstand, a low upstand, blocked drainage or condensation mistaken for a leak.
Is it condensation or a leak?
Condensation forms on the inside face on cold days and comes back in the same pattern. A leak appears when it rains and often tracks down the reveal.
