Skylight replacement for Stourbridge: the essentials
Our skylight replacement service in Stourbridge covers replacing tired domes and failed glass with a modern rooflight. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
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 yellowed domes, misted glass and leaking roof windows.
We work across the West Midlands, including Stourbridge, and in neighbouring towns such as Brierley Hill and Kingswinford. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Fixed to electric opening
- Misted glass unit replacement only
- Dome to flat glass upgrade
- Roof window replacement in pitched roofs
- Upstand rebuild and insulation
- Cures most chronic leaks
- Often reuses the existing opening
What to check first
- A replacement is a chance to meet current thermal standards
- Upstand and roof condition decide the scope
Planning and building rules for Stourbridge
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. 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.
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.

The process, step by step
- Send the details. Postcode, rough size and a photo of the roof and room.
- Measure and check. A surveyor visits Stourbridge, measures and checks structure and access.
- Fixed quote. Product, work and price in writing — nothing is ordered until you agree.
- Fit and make good. We fit, seal, test and finish the reveal, then hand over the paperwork.

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