Planning and building regulations for Bootle
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 Bootle 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 Bootle
Does black get hotter?
The frame surface does, but the effect on the room is small next to the choice of glass.
What black is it?
Usually RAL 9005. If your doors are a different black, such as RAL 9004 or 9011, give us the code.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Bootle?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Bootle?
With the midsummer sun about 60.0° high at noon, roof glass in Bootle gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
