Planning and building regulations for Oldham
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.
On a permitted development extension the lantern counts towards the extension's height; on an existing roof, a rooflight projecting more than 150 mm may need planning permission.
Building regulations in Oldham 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 Oldham
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.

We will explain on your quote how building regulations will be met for your job and who is responsible for any notification.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Oldham?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for OL1.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Oldham?
With the midsummer sun about 59.9° high at noon, roof glass in Oldham gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
