Roof lanterns and rooflights for rear extensions in Swansea Bay
Lanterns, flat rooflights and walk-on glass that bring light deep into the plan. Rear extensions in Swansea Bay: we cover 6 towns including Swansea, Neath and Briton Ferry, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
Rear extensions in Swansea Bay gain most from a rooflight placed against the old back wall, where the room would otherwise be darkest. Swansea Bay has Victorian terraces near the centre and semis further out. Welsh permitted development allows up to 4 metres at the rear for many houses.
What does it cost in Swansea Bay?
As a guide, £2,200–£4,500 including VAT. We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
