Skylight replacement in Exmouth: what is involved?
Skylight replacement in Exmouth means replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. We cover the EX8 district and the rest of Devon, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many South West towns mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with modern estates, so the right product differs street by street. Think of skylight replacement for older extensions due a modern rooflight.
Exmouth sits about 15 km from Exeter and 18 km from Newton Abbot, and we cover the whole EX8 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning, building control and Exmouth
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
