Planning and building regulations for Plymouth
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.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations in Plymouth 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 Plymouth
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 Plymouth?
Yes. Delivery to Plymouth (PL1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Plymouth?
With the midsummer sun about 63.1° high at noon, roof glass in Plymouth gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
