Skylight installation in Stourbridge: what is involved?
Our skylight installation service in Stourbridge 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Think of skylight installation for new extensions, new openings and fit-only jobs.
We work across the West Midlands, including Stourbridge, and in neighbouring towns such as Brierley Hill and Kingswinford. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

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

Questions about skylight installation in Stourbridge
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Stourbridge?
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 Stourbridge?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
