Planning and building regulations for Bedford
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 Bedford 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 Bedford
Do you need to survey before fitting?
For a lantern on a ready upstand, clear photos and measurements are often enough. Replacements and new openings need a survey.
Can you build the upstand as well?
We can quote for upstands and associated roofing on a survey basis.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Bedford?
Yes. Delivery to Bedford (MK40) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Bedford?
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.
