Planning and building regulations for Kidsgrove
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 Kidsgrove 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 Kidsgrove
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Kidsgrove?
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 Kidsgrove?
With the midsummer sun about 60.4° high at noon, roof glass in Kidsgrove gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
