Lantern upstands for Worcester projects

In midsummer the noon sun stands about 61.3° high over Worcester, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Lifts the lantern clear of the roof finish
- Made to match the lantern's external size
- Prefabricated insulated or site-built timber

Planning and building regulations for Worcester
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.
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 Worcester 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 Worcester
What height should my upstand be?
High enough to keep water away from the lantern seal, commonly at least 150 mm above the finished roof surface. Follow the instructions for your chosen range.
Who makes the upstand weatherproof?
Your roofer, by dressing the roof membrane up the outside of the upstand. The lantern then sits over it.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Worcester?
With the midsummer sun about 61.3° high at noon, roof glass in Worcester gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Worcester?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
