Planning and building regulations in Greater Manchester

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 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.

Orangery roof lanterns in Greater Manchester: questions

Should the lantern match my bifold doors?

A common choice is to match the outside colour, often anthracite. The inside can be white to keep the ceiling bright.

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.

Do orangery lanterns come with cresting?

They can. Cresting and finials are options on traditional ranges.

How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Greater Manchester?

Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for Greater Manchester.
