Choosing roof lantern installation in Kent

Optional fitting by installers working under S&K, quoted for your postcode.

Across Kent, the shortest day brings around 7h 52m of daylight and the midsummer sun reaches about 62.1° 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 Kent

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.

Roof lantern installation in Kent: questions

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.

How long does fitting take?

A lantern on a ready upstand is often fitted in a few hours. Replacement and new openings take longer.

Can you build the upstand as well?

We can quote for upstands and associated roofing on a survey basis.

Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Kent?

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.
