Skylight installation for Kenilworth: the essentials
For Kenilworth homes and buildings we offer skylight installation: survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. Typical uses for skylight installation include builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
From Kenilworth to Warwick, Coventry and Leamington Spa, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning, building control and Kenilworth
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.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about skylight installation in Kenilworth
How long does installation take?
Fitting into a prepared upstand takes about a day. A new opening in an existing roof, including making good, often takes two to three days.
Do you fit rooflights bought elsewhere?
Yes. We check the product and the opening first, and our workmanship terms cover the fitting rather than the product.
Do you work with builders?
Yes — on new extensions we fit to the builder's programme once the upstand or roof is ready.
Can you work alongside my builder in Kenilworth?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.

Yes. We carry out skylight installation in Kenilworth and across Warwickshire. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
