Planning and building regulations in Greater London

In England, building regulations energy guidance sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new and replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured horizontally.

On a permitted development extension the lantern counts towards the extension's height; on an existing roof, a rooflight projecting more than 150 mm may need planning permission.

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.

Contemporary roof lanterns in Greater London: questions

Can I have a contemporary lantern in white?

Yes, though most buyers choose grey or black because the slimmer frame is the point and dark frames disappear against the sky.

Are contemporary lanterns weaker?

They are engineered for the sizes they are sold in. That is exactly why their maximum sizes are often smaller: the frame is slimmer, so each range has its own limits.

Do contemporary lanterns cost more?

Usually a little more per size than a standard range, because the bigger glass units cost more to make and handle.

How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Greater London?

Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for Greater London.
