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.
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 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
Is uPVC heavier?
Weight is dominated by the glass, so the difference is small.
Are uPVC lanterns as good as aluminium?
They do the same job at a lower price, with bulkier frames and fewer colour and size options. For most showpiece extensions aluminium is worth the extra.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Ilford?
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 IG1.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Ilford?
With the midsummer sun about 61.9° high at noon, roof glass in Ilford gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
