Skylight replacement for Reigate: the essentials
For Reigate 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.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. In Reigate, as anywhere, skylight replacement is the usual choice for older extensions due a modern rooflight.
From Reigate to Redhill, Horley and Banstead, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
What you can choose
- Like-for-like size replacement
- Upstand rebuild and insulation
- Roof window replacement in pitched roofs
- Fixed to electric opening
- Misted glass unit replacement only
- Option to add opening and rain sensor
- Cures most chronic leaks
Things we check at survey
- Old glass and domes are disposed of responsibly
- Upstand and roof condition decide the scope
Planning and building rules for Reigate
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about skylight replacement in Reigate
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.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Reigate?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Reigate free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
