Planning and building regulations for Fleet
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.
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 Fleet 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 Fleet
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.
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 it worth having solar-control glass in Fleet?
With the midsummer sun about 62.2° high at noon, roof glass in Fleet gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Fleet?
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 GU51.
