Planning and building regulations for Weymouth
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.
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 Weymouth 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 Weymouth
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
A conservatory has a mostly glazed roof; an orangery has a mostly solid roof with a lantern in the middle and usually more solid wall. Orangeries are easier to keep comfortable year round.
Can I add a lantern to my existing orangery roof?
If the roof has a suitable opening and upstand, yes. If not, the roof needs structural alteration first, which is a job for a builder with an engineer's input.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Weymouth?
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 Weymouth?
With the midsummer sun about 62.8° high at noon, roof glass in Weymouth gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
