Flat rooflights in Evesham: what is involved?
We handle flat rooflights across Worcestershire, including Evesham. 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.
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. Think of flat rooflights for landings, bathrooms and rear extensions with flat roofs.
Evesham is around 21 km from Worcester, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Worcestershire, including the WR11 district.
What you can choose
- Rain sensor if paired with an opening unit
- Solar-control or self-cleaning outer pane
- Integral or fitted blinds
- Insulated kerb or timber upstand built to suit
- Plastered or lined internal reveal
- Double or triple glazed with a warm-edge spacer
- Pairs with an opening unit where you also need ventilation
Things we check at survey
- The roof membrane must be dressed up the upstand before the unit goes on
- New openings in an existing roof need a structural check on joists
Planning and building rules for Evesham
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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.

Common questions
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.
Double or triple glazing?
Double glazing suits most domestic jobs. Triple glazing improves thermal performance and cuts noise from rain, which is worth it over bedrooms or where the energy calculation is tight.
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 I need to be at home for the survey in Evesham?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Is the survey in Evesham free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
