Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Bridport: what is involved?
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Bridport 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.
Many South West towns mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with modern estates, so the right product differs street by street. Sun tunnels & tubular skylights suit small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Dorchester (23 km) and Yeovil (25 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Bridport?
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Bridport: questions
Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
Will it get condensation?
Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.
Can it work at night?
Some models include a light fitting in the diffuser.
Is the survey in Bridport free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Bridport?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
