How we approach sliding rooflights in Devizes
Sliding rooflights in Devizes means box rooflights whose glass lid slides back for walk-out roof access. We cover the SN10 district and the rest of Wiltshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many South West towns mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with modern estates, so the right product differs street by street. Typical uses for sliding rooflights include walk-out access where a hatch would feel cramped.

Consents for sliding rooflights in Devizes
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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
