Planning and building regulations in the West Midlands
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.

Roof lanterns in the West Midlands: questions
Is it worth having solar-control glass in the West Midlands?
With the midsummer sun about 60.9° high at noon, roof glass in the West Midlands gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in the West Midlands?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
Can you fit a roof lantern in the West Midlands?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Can I change my order after it is placed?
Stock-size orders can sometimes be changed before dispatch. Made-to-measure lanterns go into manufacture once ordered and cannot be changed or cancelled after that point.
