What do roof lanterns in Pembroke Dock involve?
We handle roof lanterns across Dyfed, including Pembroke Dock. In short: hipped glass lanterns that lift the ceiling of orangeries and extensions. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. In Pembroke Dock, as anywhere, roof lanterns are the usual choice for orangeries, kitchen-diners and single-storey extensions.
From Pembroke Dock to Haverfordwest, Tenby and Carmarthen, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Options we can specify in Pembroke Dock
- Internal and external colours
- Rectangular, square or bespoke sizes
- Aluminium or uPVC systems
- LED lighting in the plaster box
- Opening vents with electric control
- Light from every angle across the day
- Double or triple glazed with solar-control options
What to check first
- Plaster-box depth affects how the lantern looks from below
- Some designs project above the roof enough to affect planning on certain houses
Consents for roof lanterns in Pembroke Dock
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Do they leak?
Modern lanterns are sealed systems. Leaks usually trace back to the kerb or roof membrane detail, which we form and check ourselves.
Roof lantern or flat rooflight?
A lantern adds height and sky from all sides; a flat rooflight is lower-profile and cleaner from outside. Our guide compares them in detail.
Do roof lanterns get hot?
They can in summer if clear glass is used on a south-facing roof. Solar-control glass and an opening vent make a big difference.
Do you fit roof lanterns in Pembroke Dock?
Yes. We survey and fit roof lanterns in Pembroke Dock and across Dyfed. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Will I need planning permission in Pembroke Dock?
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites.
