Black roof lanterns for Wellington homes
RAL 9005 jet black for crisp contrast and steel-look interiors.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 60.7° high over Wellington, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Usually no surcharge as a stock colour
- Sharp contrast against sky and ceiling
- Matt and fine-texture finishes

Planning and building regulations for Wellington
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.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.
Building regulations in Wellington 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 Wellington
Is a black lantern too dark inside?
The frame is a small part of what you see; the glass dominates. Black frames inside create a graphic grid that many people like. If you want a softer look, choose white inside.
What black is it?
Usually RAL 9005. If your doors are a different black, such as RAL 9004 or 9011, give us the code.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Wellington?
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Wellington?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
