Planning and building regulations for Aldershot
England's Approved Document L caps the U-value of new or replacement rooflights in existing homes at 2.2 W/m²K, calculated with the glass horizontal.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations in Aldershot are checked by your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work. Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Questions from Aldershot
Do aluminium lanterns get cold and drip?
Thermally broken frames are designed to reduce cold bridging. Condensation can still form if a room is very humid and poorly ventilated, which is why kitchens and bathrooms need extract ventilation.
Is aluminium recyclable?
Yes, aluminium can be recycled repeatedly. Ask your local waste site about the glass and seals, which are handled separately.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Aldershot?
With the midsummer sun about 62.2° high at noon, roof glass in Aldershot gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Aldershot?
Yes. Delivery to Aldershot (GU12) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
