New skylights in Epsom
Whether it is a first skylight in a loft, a rooflight for a new extension or a replacement for an old one, the work starts the same way: Marcus looks at the roof, the room below and where the light will fall, then recommends what suits. For a sloping roof that usually means a Velux pitched roof window; for a flat roof, a flat glass rooflight or a roof lantern on a properly built upstand.
Flat roofs and rooflights together
If your home has a flat-roofed extension, garage or dormer and its covering is near the end of its life, the best time to add a rooflight is when the roof is renewed. We lay EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass roofs and fit the glass in the same job, so the upstand and the roof are finished together.
Planning in Epsom
Epsom and Ewell Borough Council is the planning authority. Most rooflights on houses are permitted development, but check with the council first if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

Questions from Epsom
Do you cover Epsom and Ewell?
Yes. We cover the whole borough, from Epsom town centre to Ewell and Stoneleigh, as part of our work across the KT postcodes.
Do I need permission for a new skylight in Epsom?
Planning permission is not usually needed for rooflights on a house, but Epsom and Ewell has conservation areas and listed buildings, which have their own rules. A new opening in the roof usually needs building regulations approval, and we can explain what that involves.
