Skylight replacement for Leominster: the essentials
We handle skylight replacement across Herefordshire, including Leominster. In short: replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
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. Skylight replacement suits yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
Leominster is around 19 km from Hereford, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Herefordshire, including the HR6 district.

Do you need permission in Leominster?
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
What do you do with the old unit?
We remove it from site and recycle what can be recycled.
Can you replace only the misted glass?
Sometimes, if the frame is sound and the maker supplies replacement units. Often a complete new rooflight costs little more and performs better.
Will it mess up my ceiling?
We protect the room and make good the reveal. Minor decoration may be needed afterwards.

Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
