How we approach skylight installation in Willenhall
Thinking about skylight installation in Willenhall? The short answer: survey, supply and fit — new openings, extensions and fit-only work. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. In Willenhall, as anywhere, skylight installation is the usual choice for builders' projects and retrofits into finished roofs.
We work across the West Midlands, including Willenhall, and in neighbouring towns such as Wednesfield and Wolverhampton. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Willenhall
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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. 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.
