Skylight replacement for Stockton-on-Tees: the essentials
Our skylight replacement service in Stockton-on-Tees covers replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Older flat-roofed extensions in the North East are often due a new roof covering — the right time to upgrade the rooflight too. Think of skylight replacement for yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
Stockton-on-Tees sits about 3 km from Billingham and 4 km from Thornaby-on-Tees, and we cover the whole TS19 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Stockton-on-Tees?
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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
