Roof lanterns and rooflights for rear extensions in North Yorkshire
Lanterns, flat rooflights and walk-on glass that bring light deep into the plan. Across North Yorkshire we handle the whole rear extension: survey, drawings, the planning route, building control and the build. Towns we cover here include York, Middlesbrough and Harrogate.
Rear extensions in North Yorkshire gain most from a rooflight placed against the old back wall, where the room would otherwise be darkest. Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of North Yorkshire. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.
What does it cost in North Yorkshire?
As a guide, £2,200–£4,500 including VAT. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
What approvals does it need in North Yorkshire?
New fabric must meet Approved Document L (2021 edition incorporating 2023 amendments): walls 0.18, roof 0.15 and floor 0.18 W/m²K, windows 1.4 W/m²K or Band B. Under the simple route, new windows, doors and rooflights should not exceed 25% of the extension floor area plus any openings removed; more glass is possible with a whole-house calculation.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent.
