Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Pembroke Dock: the essentials
We handle sun tunnels & tubular skylights across Dyfed, including Pembroke Dock. In short: light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Typical uses for sun tunnels & tubular skylights include windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Pembroke Dock is around 54 km from Llanelli, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Dyfed, including the SA72 district.
Options we can specify in Pembroke Dock
- Ventilation adaptor
- Integrated electric light

- Insulated tube sections

Before you order: points to check
- Tube runs need insulation in cold lofts to limit condensation
- Light output falls with tube length and bends
Consents for sun tunnels & tubular skylights 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. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.

Common questions
Will it get condensation?
Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.
Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
Do sun tunnels need planning permission?
Usually not on a house, provided the dome does not project too far and the property is not listed. Check if you live in a conservation area or a flat.
Is the survey in Pembroke Dock free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Pembroke Dock?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
