What does skylight replacement in Shanklin involve?
Skylight replacement in Shanklin means replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. We cover the PO37 district and the rest of the Isle of Wight, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. In Shanklin, as anywhere, skylight replacement is the usual choice for yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
Neighbouring towns include Sandown (3 km) and Newport, Isle of Wight (12 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Shanklin?
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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. 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.
