Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Questions from Liverpool

Yes, that is one of the most common combinations.
Does a white lantern show dirt?
Outside, white shows dirt more than grey. Self-cleaning glass helps with the glass, and the frames benefit from an occasional wash.

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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Liverpool?
With the midsummer sun about 60.0° high at noon, roof glass in Liverpool gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
