Flat rooflights for Bridgnorth: the essentials
We handle flat rooflights across Shropshire, including Bridgnorth. In short: fixed double or triple glazed rooflights for flat roofs and extensions. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. In Bridgnorth, as anywhere, flat rooflights are the usual choice for kitchen extensions, side returns and flat-roofed back rooms.
Neighbouring towns include Loughton (15 km) and Telford (16 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
Options we can specify in Bridgnorth

What to check first
- Rooflights count toward glazing in an extension, which matters for Building Regulations energy and overheating rules
- The roof membrane must be dressed up the upstand before the unit goes on
Planning, building control and Bridgnorth
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. 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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about flat rooflights in Bridgnorth
Can a flat rooflight be walked on?
Not unless it is designed as a walk-on unit with structural laminated glass. A standard flat rooflight is for light only — if the roof is used as a terrace, choose a walk-on rooflight instead.
Can you fit into my existing flat roof?
Yes. We form a new opening, trim the joists, build and waterproof an upstand and make good the ceiling. A survey confirms the joist direction and roof build-up first.
Will it make the room too hot?
A big unglazed-to-sky area can add solar gain in summer. Solar-control glass, a blind, or pairing a fixed unit with an opening one keeps it comfortable.
Do you fit flat rooflights in Bridgnorth?
Yes. We survey and fit flat rooflights in Bridgnorth and across Shropshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.

Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
