How we approach skylight replacement in Warwick
We handle skylight replacement across Warwickshire, including Warwick. 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.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. Skylight replacement suits yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
Neighbouring towns include Leamington Spa (4 km) and Kenilworth (7 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Warwick
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.
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. 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.

Common questions
How long does a replacement take?
Usually a day for a standard rooflight on a sound upstand.
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.
What do you do with the old unit?
We remove it from site and recycle what can be recycled.
How do I book a survey in Warwick?
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 Warwick free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
