Roof lanterns in Staffordshire

Buying a roof lantern in Staffordshire

Across Staffordshire the process is the same: configure your lantern for a guide price, send us your kerb size, then get a fixed quote, a lead time and a delivery date.

From roughly 7h 35m of daylight in December to 16h 54m in June, the right glass matters: solar control keeps large lanterns comfortable, self-cleaning glass keeps them clear.

Planning and building regulations in Staffordshire

For homes in England, a new or replacement rooflight should achieve a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K or better in the horizontal position, under Approved Document L.

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 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.
