Planning and building regulations for Wigston
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.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations in Wigston 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 Wigston
Do I need triple glazing to meet building regulations?
Not usually. Well-specified double glazed lanterns generally meet the limiting values for rooflights. Triple glazing is an upgrade, not normally a requirement. Your building control body can confirm for your project.
Will triple glazing stop rain noise?
It reduces it noticeably. Laminated glass reduces it further.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Wigston?
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Wigston?
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.
