How we approach flat rooflights in Halesowen
We handle flat rooflights across the West Midlands, including Halesowen. 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Flat rooflights suit kitchen extensions, side returns and flat-roofed back rooms.
Halesowen sits about 6 km from Brierley Hill and 6 km from Dudley, and we cover the whole B63 postcode district and the roads in between.
Choices for your Halesowen project
- Insulated kerb or timber upstand built to suit
- Frame colours: anthracite, black, white or RAL
- Square, rectangular or long-format sizes
- Integral or fitted blinds
- Double or triple glazing
- Even, top-down daylight across the whole room
- Slim sightlines from inside — mostly glass, little frame
Before you order: points to check
- 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 and building rules for Halesowen
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. 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.

Questions about flat rooflights in Halesowen
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.
Do flat rooflights leak?
A well-fitted flat rooflight should not leak. Leaks almost always come from the upstand or membrane detailing, not the glass unit, which is why the upstand height and the way the roof covering is dressed up and under the frame matter more than the brand.
How long does it take?
Fitting into a prepared upstand usually takes a day. Forming a new opening in an existing roof, including making good inside, is often two to three days.
Is the survey in Halesowen free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
