Flat rooflights for Eastbourne homes
A single near-flat pane on an upstand: minimal, low and discreet.
Winter daylight in Eastbourne lasts about 7h 57m, against 16h 30m in midsummer. Glass in the roof makes the most of the short days, and the right glass keeps the long ones comfortable.
- Minimal, frameless-looking from inside
- Sized to your upstand
- Usually cheaper than a lantern

Planning and building regulations for Eastbourne
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 Eastbourne 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 Eastbourne
Can I walk on a flat rooflight?
Only if it is a walk-on rooflight designed for foot traffic. Standard rooflights are not designed to be walked on.
Can a flat rooflight open?
Some ranges offer electric opening versions. Ask for availability for your size.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Eastbourne?
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 Eastbourne?
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.
