How we approach skylight replacement in Tiverton
We handle skylight replacement across Devon, including Tiverton. In short: replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Barn and chapel conversions in the South West often need bespoke or shaped rooflights to suit the original structure. Skylight replacement suits yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
We work across Devon, including Tiverton, and in neighbouring towns such as Exeter and Taunton. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Tiverton
- Misted glass unit replacement only
- Like-for-like size replacement
- Dome to flat glass upgrade
- Roof window replacement in pitched roofs
- Fixed to electric opening
- Usually done in a day
- Better thermal performance
What to check first
- Enlarging the opening changes the structure and may need approval
- Old glass and domes are disposed of responsibly
Consents for skylight replacement in Tiverton
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
