Planning and building regulations for Leicester
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 Leicester 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 Leicester
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.
Can the coating be damaged?
Yes, by abrasive cleaning, some chemicals and silicone. Follow the care instructions supplied with your lantern.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Leicester?
With the midsummer sun about 60.8° high at noon, roof glass in Leicester gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Leicester?
Yes. Delivery to Leicester (LE1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
