Flat rooflights for Croydon homes
A single near-flat pane on an upstand: minimal, low and discreet.
At 51.38°N, Croydon sees roughly 7h 51m of daylight in late December and 16h 37m in late June. A lantern faces the bright overhead sky all year, so it brings in useful light even on the short, grey days.
- Usually cheaper than a lantern
- Fixed or electric opening versions
- Minimal, frameless-looking from inside

Planning and building regulations for Croydon
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 Croydon 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 Croydon
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.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Croydon?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Croydon?
With the midsummer sun about 62.1° high at noon, roof glass in Croydon gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
