Replacement roof lanterns in Surrey

Choosing replacement roof lanterns in Surrey

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

Across Surrey, the shortest day brings around 7h 51m of daylight and the midsummer sun reaches about 62.1° 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 Surrey

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.
