Skylights and roof windows in Sutton and Cheam
Sutton and Cheam are about four miles from our base in Surbiton, close to our hallway rooflight job in Worcester Park. We fit new skylights, Velux windows, flat rooflights and roof lanterns across SM1, SM2 and SM3.
New skylights in Sutton and Cheam
A first skylight usually goes in one of three places: a loft that needs daylight to be usable, a rear extension that is dark at the back, or a landing in the middle of the house. In a loft, Velux roof windows bring in light and fresh air. Over an extension, a flat glass rooflight or roof lantern lights the kitchen. For a landing, a rooflight with a plastered shaft, like the one we fitted in Worcester Park, or a sun tunnel does the job.
Cheam and its conservation area
The old village at the heart of Cheam is a conservation area, where the look of a roof matters more. Velux conservation windows, with a slim dark frame and a central glazing bar, are made for roofs like these, and sit low in the roof slope.
Planning in Sutton and Cheam
The London Borough of Sutton is the planning authority. 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 Sutton and Cheam
Do you fit skylights in Cheam?
Yes. We cover Cheam and the whole of SM3, as well as Sutton and Belmont, and the survey and quote are free.
Can I have a roof window in a conservation area?
Often, yes, but planning permission may be needed, especially on a roof slope that faces the road. A conservation roof window, with a slim dark frame that sits low in the roof, is usually the kind councils prefer. Check with the council before you commit.
