Replacement roof lanterns for Hinckley homes
Swap a tired, leaking or polycarbonate lantern for modern double glazing.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 60.9° high over Hinckley, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Often a one-day swap on a sound kerb

Planning and building regulations for Hinckley
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.
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 in Hinckley 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 Hinckley
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.
Will a new lantern be warmer?
A modern double glazed lantern with a thermally broken frame loses far less heat than polycarbonate.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Hinckley?
With the midsummer sun about 60.9° high at noon, roof glass in Hinckley gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Hinckley?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
