What does skylight installation in Halesowen involve?
Our skylight installation service in Halesowen covers survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. In Halesowen, as anywhere, skylight installation is the usual choice for builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
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.

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

Skylight installation in Halesowen: questions
Do I need a structural engineer?
For new openings that cut joists or rafters, a structural check is sensible and building control may ask for calculations.
Do you work with builders?
Yes — on new extensions we fit to the builder's programme once the upstand or roof is ready.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Halesowen?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Halesowen?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
