Skylight installation in Kingswinford: what is involved?
Skylight installation in Kingswinford means survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. We cover the DY6 district and the rest of the West Midlands, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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 new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
We work across the West Midlands, including Kingswinford, and in neighbouring towns such as Brierley Hill and Stourbridge. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Kingswinford?
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
