What does skylight replacement in Tenby involve?
We handle skylight replacement across Dyfed, including Tenby. 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.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. Skylight replacement suits yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
Tenby sits about 16 km from Pembroke Dock and 23 km from Haverfordwest, and we cover the whole SA70 postcode district and the roads in between.
Options we can specify in Tenby
- Dome to flat glass upgrade
- Like-for-like size replacement
- Misted glass unit replacement only
- Roof window replacement in pitched roofs
- Upstand rebuild and insulation
- Cures most chronic leaks
- Clearer view and more light
Before you order: points to check
- Old glass and domes are disposed of responsibly
- Upstand and roof condition decide the scope
Planning, building control and Tenby
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
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.

Questions about skylight replacement in Tenby
What do you do with the old unit?
We remove it from site and recycle what can be recycled.
Can I go bigger when replacing?
Possibly. Enlarging the opening means trimming joists, so we check the structure first.
Will it mess up my ceiling?
We protect the room and make good the reveal. Minor decoration may be needed afterwards.
Will I need planning permission in Tenby?
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.
Is the survey in Tenby free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
