Skylights and roof windows in Putney
Putney is about five miles from our base in Surbiton, just along from our sash window job in Southfields. We fit Velux windows, flat rooflights, roof lanterns and sun tunnels across SW15.
Lofts and extensions in Putney
Many Putney homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with a loft room or a long rear extension already added. A loft room comes alive with Velux roof windows, and a dark extension with a flat glass rooflight or roof lantern. A hallway in the middle of a terrace can take a rooflight with a lined shaft, or a sun tunnel where the route is awkward.
Flats and mansion blocks
Putney also has many flats. The rules are different for a flat: a new rooflight usually needs planning permission, and the freeholder has to agree if the roof is not yours. Once both are in place, the fitting itself is the same as on a house.
Planning in Putney
The London Borough of Wandsworth is the planning authority, and it has many conservation areas. Most rooflights on houses are permitted development, but conservation areas, listed buildings and flats have their own rules, and a new opening in the roof usually needs building regulations approval.

Questions from Putney
Do you work in Putney?
Yes. Putney and the rest of SW15 are part of our area, along with Southfields and Wimbledon next door, and the survey and quote are free.
Can I have a skylight in a flat?
Often, but flats do not have the permitted development rights that houses do, so a new rooflight usually needs planning permission, and the freeholder's consent if you do not own the roof. Check both before work is booked.
