Planning and building regulations for Smethwick
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.
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 Smethwick 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 Smethwick
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.

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

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.
