Skylight replacement for Stratford-upon-Avon: the essentials
For Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. In Stratford-upon-Avon, as anywhere, skylight replacement is the usual choice for older extensions due a modern rooflight.
Stratford-upon-Avon sits about 11 km from Alcester and 13 km from Warwick, and we cover the whole CV37 postcode district and the roads in between.
Specification options
- Misted glass unit replacement only
- Like-for-like size replacement
- Roof window replacement in pitched roofs
- Fixed to electric opening
- Dome to flat glass upgrade
- Better thermal performance
- Clearer view and more light
What to check first
- A replacement is a chance to meet current thermal standards
- Old glass and domes are disposed of responsibly
Planning, building control and Stratford-upon-Avon
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
