How we approach skylight replacement in Stafford
We handle skylight replacement across Staffordshire, including Stafford. 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Skylight replacement suits older extensions due a modern rooflight.
From Stafford to Rugeley, Cannock and Burntwood, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Consents for skylight replacement in Stafford
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. 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 replacement in Stafford
What do you do with the old unit?
We remove it from site and recycle what can be recycled.
Do I need building regulations approval to replace a rooflight?
Replacements in existing homes generally need to meet current thermal standards and may need notification or approval. We advise on the route for your job.
Can I go bigger when replacing?
Possibly. Enlarging the opening means trimming joists, so we check the structure first.

Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Is the survey in Stafford free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
