What does skylight replacement in Bedworth involve?
For Bedworth homes and buildings we offer skylight replacement: replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
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 older extensions due a modern rooflight.
Bedworth is around 5 km from Nuneaton, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Warwickshire, including the CV12 district.
Specification options
- Roof window replacement in pitched roofs
- Like-for-like size replacement
- Dome to flat glass upgrade
- Fixed to electric opening
- Misted glass unit replacement only
- Better thermal performance
- Often reuses the existing opening
Before you order: points to check
- Upstand and roof condition decide the scope
- Enlarging the opening changes the structure and may need approval
Consents for skylight replacement in Bedworth
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. 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. 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.

Questions about skylight replacement in Bedworth
Can I go bigger when replacing?
Possibly. Enlarging the opening means trimming joists, so we check the structure first.
Will it mess up my ceiling?
We protect the room and make good the reveal. Minor decoration may be needed afterwards.
What do you do with the old unit?
We remove it from site and recycle what can be recycled.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Bedworth?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Will I need planning permission in Bedworth?
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.
