Flat rooflights for Borehamwood homes
A single near-flat pane on an upstand: minimal, low and discreet.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 61.8° high over Borehamwood, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Single glazed unit with a slight fall
- Usually cheaper than a lantern
- Very low profile from outside

Planning and building regulations for Borehamwood
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 Borehamwood 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 Borehamwood
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 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 Borehamwood?
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Borehamwood?
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.
