Planning and building regulations for Kendal
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 Kendal 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 Kendal
How long does fitting take?
A lantern on a ready upstand is often fitted in a few hours. Replacement and new openings take longer.
Who deals with building control?
We will explain on your quote how building regulations will be met for your job and who is responsible for any notification.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Kendal?
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.

We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
