How we approach skylight replacement in Crowthorne
Skylight replacement in Crowthorne means replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. We cover the RG45 district and the rest of Berkshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Think of skylight replacement for yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
Crowthorne sits about 3 km from Sandhurst and 4 km from Yateley, and we cover the whole RG45 postcode district and the roads in between.

Consents for skylight replacement in Crowthorne
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. 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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
