Skylight replacement for Aldridge: the essentials
We handle skylight replacement across the West Midlands, including Aldridge. 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.
Neighbouring towns include Walsall (5 km) and Bloxwich (6 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
What you can choose
- Fixed to electric opening
- Dome to flat glass upgrade
- Misted glass unit replacement only
- Upstand rebuild and insulation
- Roof window replacement in pitched roofs
- Better thermal performance
- Option to add opening and rain sensor
Before you order: points to check
- Old glass and domes are disposed of responsibly
- A replacement is a chance to meet current thermal standards
Do you need permission in Aldridge?
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.
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. 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.
