Planning and building regulations for St Albans
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.
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 St Albans 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 St Albans
Are small lanterns available quickly?
Standard small sizes are often available from stock. Lead times are confirmed on your quote.
Does a small lantern need an opening vent?
Not usually. Background ventilation for the room can come from trickle vents or extract fans. Vents are more useful on lanterns over kitchens and large living spaces.
Can you fit a roof lantern in St Albans?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in St Albans?
With the midsummer sun about 61.7° high at noon, roof glass in St Albans gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
