Planning and building regulations for Margate
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.
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 Margate 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 Margate
Is self-cleaning glass the same as solar-control glass?
No. Self-cleaning is a coating that sheds dirt; solar control reduces heat gain. Many lantern units combine both.
Does it work under trees?
Less well. Sap and leaf debris build up faster than daylight and rain can deal with them, so lanterns under trees need more regular rinsing.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Margate?
With the midsummer sun about 62.1° high at noon, roof glass in Margate gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Margate?
Yes. Delivery to Margate (CT9) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
