How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Stourbridge
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Stourbridge covers light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. Typical uses for sun tunnels & tubular skylights include small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
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.
Choices for your Stourbridge project
- Rigid (brighter) or flexible tubes

Before you order: points to check
- Gives light, not a view
- Tube runs need insulation in cold lofts to limit condensation
Planning, building control and 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. 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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
