Planning and building regulations for Totton
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.
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 Totton 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 Totton
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Totton?
Yes. Delivery to Totton (SO40) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Totton?
With the midsummer sun about 62.5° high at noon, roof glass in Totton gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
