How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Bedworth
Thinking about sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Bedworth? The short answer: light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Sun tunnels & tubular skylights suit windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Neighbouring towns include Nuneaton (5 km) and Coventry (9 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Bedworth?
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. 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.
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. 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.
