Planning and building regulations for Swansea
Rooflight energy standards in Wales come from the Welsh Approved Document L (2022), so check figures quoted for England do not get used by mistake.
Permitted development rules in Wales are set separately, so check with your council, especially for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Building regulations in Swansea are checked by your local authority building control team. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work in Wales too. A competent person scheme installer can self-certify; otherwise building control should be notified.

Questions from Swansea
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Swansea?
Your local authority building control team. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Swansea?
Yes. Delivery to Swansea (SA1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
