Skylight replacement in Halesowen: what is involved?
Skylight replacement in Halesowen means replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. We cover the B63 district and the rest of the West Midlands, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. Think of skylight replacement for older extensions due a modern rooflight.
Halesowen sits about 6 km from Brierley Hill and 6 km from Dudley, and we cover the whole B63 postcode district and the roads in between.

- Upstand rebuild and insulation
- Misted glass unit replacement only

Before you order: points to check

Do you need permission in Halesowen?
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.
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
