Rooflights for West Bromwich homes and buildings
From flat-roof extensions to period slate roofs, we fit the right rooflight for the building in West Bromwich — after a survey, with a fixed written price.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished.
We work across the West Midlands, including West Bromwich, and in neighbouring towns such as Smethwick and Wednesbury. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules in England
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. 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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Can you work alongside my builder in West Bromwich?
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 West Bromwich?
Yes. We survey and fit skylights and rooflights in West Bromwich and across the West Midlands. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
How do I book a survey in West Bromwich?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
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.
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.
