Choosing replacement roof lanterns in the West Midlands

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

Across the West Midlands, the shortest day brings around 7h 39m of daylight and the midsummer sun reaches about 60.9° 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 the West Midlands

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 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 the West Midlands: questions

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.

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.

Who checks building regulations for a lantern in the West Midlands?

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.
