Skylights and rooflights across Staffordshire
We survey, supply and fit skylights and rooflights across Staffordshire, including Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Burton upon Trent.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight.

Planning and building rules in England
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Staffordshire?
Yes. We survey and fit across Staffordshire, including Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Burton upon Trent. Remote and island addresses are by arrangement.
Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Staffordshire?
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge.
Do I need building regulations approval?
New openings and extensions go through building control. In England and Wales, replacements can often be self-certified through a competent person scheme; Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own routes. We tell you which applies.
