Planning and building regulations for Cheadle Hulme
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.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations in Cheadle Hulme 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 Cheadle Hulme
Does an opening vent let insects in?
When open, yes, as with any window. Some ranges offer fly screens.
What happens if it rains while the vent is open?
With a rain sensor the vent closes automatically. Without one it stays where you left it, so a sensor is worth having.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Cheadle Hulme?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Cheadle Hulme?
With the midsummer sun about 60.1° high at noon, roof glass in Cheadle Hulme gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
