How we approach skylight installation in Leamington Spa
We handle skylight installation across Warwickshire, including Leamington Spa. In short: survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. 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. In Leamington Spa, as anywhere, skylight installation is the usual choice for new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
Neighbouring towns include Warwick (4 km) and Kenilworth (8 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for skylight installation in Leamington Spa
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.
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.
