Skylights and rooflights in Brierley Hill
SkylightCompany.uk covers Brierley Hill and the surrounding part of the West Midlands, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade.
We work across the West Midlands, including Brierley Hill, and in neighbouring towns such as Stourbridge and Dudley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules in England
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Skylight questions: Brierley Hill
How do I book a survey in Brierley Hill?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Brierley Hill?
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Brierley Hill?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do you fit skylights and rooflights in Brierley Hill?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in Brierley Hill and across the West Midlands. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can a skylight be fitted into an existing flat roof?
Yes. We form the opening, trim joists, build an insulated upstand, re-waterproof and make good the ceiling.
Will a rooflight make my room too hot?
It can on a south-facing roof with clear glass. Solar-control glass, an opening unit and a blind keep the room comfortable.
