Choosing flat rooflights in Gwent
A single near-flat pane on an upstand: minimal, low and discreet.
Across Gwent, the shortest day brings around 7h 48m of daylight and the midsummer sun reaches about 61.8° at noon. A lantern collects light from the bright overhead sky all year, and the right glass keeps the long summer days comfortable.
- Minimal, frameless-looking from inside
- Single glazed unit with a slight fall

Planning and building regulations in Gwent
Wales sets its own energy standards for rooflights in the Welsh Approved Document L, so the Welsh figures apply rather than England's.
Wales has its own householder permitted development rules; listed buildings and conservation areas are the usual cases needing consent.
Building regulations are checked by your local authority building control team. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work in Wales too. A competent person scheme installer can self-certify; otherwise building control should be notified.

Flat rooflights in Gwent: questions
Are flat rooflights cheaper than lanterns?
Usually, size for size. They use one glass unit and a simple frame.
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 Gwent?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your county or county borough council before ordering.
