Planning and building regulations for Ilford
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.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.
Building regulations in Ilford 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 Ilford
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.
Is solar control the same as tinted glass?
Solar-control coatings often look slightly tinted, but the performance comes from the coating, not just the colour.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Ilford?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Ilford?
Yes. Delivery to Ilford (IG1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
