Choosing replacement roof lanterns in Hertfordshire

Swap a tired, leaking or polycarbonate lantern for modern double glazing.

Across Hertfordshire, the shortest day brings around 7h 47m of daylight and the midsummer sun reaches about 61.7° at noon. A lantern collects light from the bright overhead sky all year, and the right glass keeps the long summer days comfortable.

Planning and building regulations in Hertfordshire

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.

Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.

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 Hertfordshire: questions

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 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.

Will a new lantern be warmer?

A modern double glazed lantern with a thermally broken frame loses far less heat than polycarbonate.

Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Hertfordshire?

Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
