Choosing flat rooflights in Berkshire

A single near-flat pane on an upstand: minimal, low and discreet.

Across Berkshire, the shortest day brings around 7h 50m of daylight and the midsummer sun reaches about 62.0° at noon. A lantern collects light from the bright overhead sky all year, and the right glass keeps the long summer days comfortable.

  • Sized to your upstand
  • Minimal, frameless-looking from inside
  • Very low profile from outside
  • Single glazed unit with a slight fall

Planning and building regulations in Berkshire

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.

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.

Flat rooflights in Berkshire: questions

Are flat rooflights cheaper than lanterns?

Usually, size for size. They use one glass unit and a simple frame.

Can a flat rooflight open?

Some ranges offer electric opening versions. Ask for availability for your size.

Do flat rooflights leak?

They should not, provided they are installed on a properly flashed upstand with the right fall and the seals are maintained.

Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Berkshire?

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.
