How we approach sliding rooflights in Bognor Regis
Sliding rooflights in Bognor Regis means box rooflights whose glass lid slides back for walk-out roof access. We cover the PO21 district and the rest of West Sussex, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Think of sliding rooflights for walk-out access where a hatch would feel cramped.
Bognor Regis sits about 9 km from Chichester and 10 km from Littlehampton, and we cover the whole PO21 postcode district and the roads in between.

Consents for sliding rooflights in Bognor Regis
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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Common questions
Is a sliding rooflight better than an access hatch?
For daily use, usually yes — you walk out under open sky instead of climbing through a hinged hatch. A hatch costs less and suits occasional access.
Is it lockable?
Yes. Units lock from inside and the drive holds the lid closed.
Does it need planning permission?
A box unit that projects above the roof plane can need planning permission, especially on the front of a house or in a conservation area. We check before you order.
