White roof lanterns for Portsmouth homes
Classic white frames that blend into the ceiling and suit period homes.

Planning and building regulations for Portsmouth
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.
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 Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth
Can I have white inside and anthracite outside?
Yes, that is one of the most common combinations.
Is white cheaper?
White is a stock colour, so it costs the same as the other stock colours.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Portsmouth?
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.
