Can it be added to an existing roof or should it be included in the roof installation?

Rooflights are transparent or semitransparent structures designed to allow natural light to come into buildings. Adding rooflights is subject to building regulations so you might want to check with your local authorities first for compliance. 

There are many benefits to having rooflights. They increase natural light inside your building, thus reducing reliance on artificial lighting, which decreases energy consumption. They also improve ventilation, which increases the circulation of fresh air while getting rid of smoke, heat, and stale air. This also prevents condensation and mould formation.

While it is possible to add a rooflight after your flat roof has been installed, the best practice is to put it in place while the roof is being installed. Ideally, you’d want to work with roofers in Witney who have vast experience in installing various types of roofs and rooflights and ones who can do a solid job of putting everything together.
