Questions from Pontypool
Do I need an upstand for a roof lantern?
Yes. Lanterns are designed to sit on an upstand, never directly on the roof deck.
Can I order a lantern before the upstand is built?
Yes, if you build the upstand to the lantern's stated external size. Many people order the lantern and upstand together so they match.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Pontypool?
Your local authority building control team. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Pontypool?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your county or county borough council before ordering.
