Skylights and rooflights in Wolverhampton
SkylightCompany.uk covers Wolverhampton and the surrounding part of the West Midlands, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight.
We work across the West Midlands, including Wolverhampton, and in neighbouring towns such as Wednesfield and Willenhall. 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: Wolverhampton

How do I book a survey in Wolverhampton?
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 Wolverhampton?
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.
Fixed or opening?
Opening units suit kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms; fixed units are simpler and cheaper where the room already ventilates well.
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.
