Sliding rooflights for Banstead: the essentials
For Banstead homes and buildings we offer sliding rooflights: box rooflights whose glass lid slides back for walk-out roof access. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Sliding rooflights suit walk-out access where a hatch would feel cramped.
Neighbouring towns include Ewell (4 km) and Epsom (4 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for sliding rooflights in Banstead
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.
