How we approach sliding rooflights in Stourbridge
Sliding rooflights in Stourbridge means box rooflights whose glass lid slides back for walk-out roof access. We cover the DY8 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. Typical uses for sliding rooflights include staircases that rise to a roof terrace.
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.

Consents for sliding rooflights in Stourbridge
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
