Flat rooflights for Hereford homes
A single near-flat pane on an upstand: minimal, low and discreet.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 61.4° high over Hereford, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Sized to your upstand
- Usually cheaper than a lantern
- Very low profile from outside

Planning and building regulations for Hereford
England's Approved Document L caps the U-value of new or replacement rooflights in existing homes at 2.2 W/m²K, calculated with the glass horizontal.
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 in Hereford 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.

Can a flat rooflight open?
Some ranges offer electric opening versions. Ask for availability for your size.
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.

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.

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.
