How we approach skylight replacement in Haverfordwest
For Haverfordwest homes and buildings we offer skylight replacement: replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best. Typical uses for skylight replacement include older extensions due a modern rooflight.
Neighbouring towns include Pembroke Dock (12 km) and Tenby (23 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Haverfordwest
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.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.

Questions about skylight replacement in Haverfordwest
Can I go bigger when replacing?
Possibly. Enlarging the opening means trimming joists, so we check the structure first.
Do I need building regulations approval to replace a rooflight?
Replacements in existing homes generally need to meet current thermal standards and may need notification or approval. We advise on the route for your job.
Will it mess up my ceiling?
We protect the room and make good the reveal. Minor decoration may be needed afterwards.
Can you work alongside my builder in Haverfordwest?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
