Although skylights do add kerb appeal to many properties, it is on the inside that the impact is felt most significantly. Skypods add height and transform ordinary rooms into breathtaking living areas flooded with natural lighting and a view to the sky.
This can add aesthetic value and make your home more appealing to potential buyers when you come to sell.

Research suggests that skylights contribute to compliance with Part L of the building regulations for thermal performance.
They also reduce the need for artificial lighting and sometimes heating.
There are many different types of flat roof skylight on the market today across the UK and some may be covered under the permitted development allowance.
However, even some of the lowest profile skylights may require an upstand to enable secure installation, especially on flat roofing – many companies suggest that the upstand should be a minimum of 150mm. We will assess and discuss this with you during your free survey.
Any major building or domestic renovation to roofing needs careful thought about if, when and where planning permission is needed. If you’re considering adding flat roof skylights, you’ll need to look at the currently permitted development regulations to determine whether your project falls within the guidelines.
In the UK and Wales, the current regulations carry the following limits:
- Any alteration is to project no more than 150mm from the existing plane of the roof.
- No alteration can be higher than the highest part of the existing roof.
- Side-facing windows should be obscure glazed.
- Any opening must be 1.7m above the floor level.
