Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Windsor: what is involved?
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Windsor covers light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Think of sun tunnels & tubular skylights for small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
Windsor is around 26 km from Reading, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Berkshire, including the SL4 district.
What you can choose
- Pitched or flat-roof flashings
- Integrated electric light
- Diffusers in several sizes

- Insulated tube sections

- Rigid or flexible tubes for awkward lofts
Before you order: points to check

Planning, building control and Windsor
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.
