Loft conversion skylights in Bedworth: what is involved?
Our loft conversion skylights service in Bedworth covers roof windows planned for loft rooms — light, headroom and escape. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
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. In Bedworth, as anywhere, loft conversion skylights are the usual choice for attic bedrooms, offices and en-suites.
We work across Warwickshire, including Bedworth, and in neighbouring towns such as Nuneaton and Coventry. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for loft conversion skylights in Bedworth
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. 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.
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
