Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Do large lanterns overheat a room?
A large area of south-facing glass can make a room warm on sunny days. Solar-control glass, an opening vent and good background ventilation all help. Our guide on overheating explains the options.
