Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Maidenhead: the essentials
Thinking about sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Maidenhead? The short answer: light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Think of sun tunnels & tubular skylights for windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Maidenhead is around 19 km from Reading, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Berkshire, including the SL6 district.

Do you need permission in Maidenhead?
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
