Planning and building regulations in Greater London

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 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.

Solar-control roof lanterns in Greater London: questions

Will solar-control glass make the room dark?

It lets slightly less light through than clear glass, but a roof lantern admits so much daylight that most people do not notice the difference.

Does it help in winter?

Solar control mainly limits summer heat. Winter heat loss is governed by the U-value, which depends on the glazing unit and frame.

Can blinds do the same job?

Internal blinds reduce glare but the heat is already inside the room. Glass that stops the heat at the roof is more effective.

How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Greater London?

Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for Greater London.
