Planning and building regulations for Caterham
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 Caterham 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 Caterham
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.
Can I have white inside and anthracite outside?
Yes, that is one of the most common combinations.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Caterham?
Yes. Delivery to Caterham (CR3) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Caterham?
With the midsummer sun about 62.2° high at noon, roof glass in Caterham gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
