Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install any type of skylight on a pitched roof?
In theory, it might be possible but in practice, you should only install skylights onto a pitched roof that are specifically designed to work with the slope of the roof. Trying to install a roof lantern made for flat roofs onto a pitched roof will yield strange and unsatisfying results.

The company is well-regarded throughout the UK building industry for their commitment to innovation. If you are looking for skylights or roof lanterns for your home or business you can do no better than Brett Martin.
Will skylights for pitched roofs make my home more energy efficient?
Skylights flood the space below with natural light. This, in turn, enables homeowners to use electric lights less frequently which typically results in lower monthly energy bills. It is impossible to say exactly how much money you will save on energy, but it is very likely you will notice a difference in your monthly bill.
Will I need planning permission to install a skylight on a pitched roof?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions we hear at Skylights Roof Lanterns. The answer is that it depends almost entirely on the type of skylight you plan to install.
- If the skylight is installed in such a way that any part of it rises above the established roof height you may need planning permission.
- If the skylight itself (frame + window) will protrude more than 150mm above the established plane of the roof you may need planning permission.
- If your home or business is a listed building or it is located in a conservation area it is very likely you will need planning permission.
Can Skylights Roof Lanterns install my pitched roof skylights for me?
We do not offer an installation service for the skylights we sell but each skylight comes with a comprehensive set of installation instructions that can be passed on to the contractor of your choice. If you do not know who to contact about installing your skylights we can recommend a contractor with skylight experience for you. You may be tempted to install the skylight yourself, but unless you have a lot of experience with roof work we would urge against it.
