Planning and building regulations in County Durham
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 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.

Replacement roof lanterns in County Durham: questions
How long does replacement take on site?
For a like-for-like swap on a sound kerb, often a day. Kerb or roof repairs add time.
My old lantern leaks. Is it the lantern or the roof?
Often the roof or kerb detailing. A survey or close inspection will tell. If the lantern is the problem, replacing it is usually better value than repairing old polycarbonate.
Can I replace polycarbonate panels with glass?
Usually not in the old frame: glass is much heavier than polycarbonate and the frame was not designed for it. Replacing the whole lantern is the safer route.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in County Durham?
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 County Durham.
