Planning and building regulations for Sittingbourne
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 Sittingbourne 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 Sittingbourne
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Sittingbourne?
With the midsummer sun about 62.1° high at noon, roof glass in Sittingbourne gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Sittingbourne?
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.
