Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in the East Riding of Yorkshire: the essentials
Across the East Riding of Yorkshire, our sun tunnels & tubular skylights work covers light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. Survey first, fixed price second, fitting third.
Exposed Pennine and coastal towns in Yorkshire need upstand and flashing details built for wind-driven rain. Conservation areas and stone villages across Yorkshire often call for conservation rooflights in slate or stone-slate roofs.

Planning and building rules in England
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. 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.
What do sun tunnels & tubular skylights cost in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
These are typical supply-and-fit ranges. For an address in the East Riding of Yorkshire, scaffold, a hoist for heavy glass, or a new structural opening can move the figure, which is why we survey first.

How the job runs
- Tell us about the roof. Send the postcode, rough sizes and a photo or two through the form, WhatsApp or the guide-price tool.
- Free survey. For new installations a surveyor measures the opening, checks the roof build-up and talks through glass and options.
- Fixed written quote. You get the product, the work and the price in writing. Nothing is ordered or paid for until you agree.
- Fitting and handover. We fit, seal and make good, then hand over product data, warranties and any certificate paperwork.

Common questions
Can it work at night?
Some models include a light fitting in the diffuser.
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.
How much light does a sun tunnel give?
A good rigid tunnel on a bright day lights a hallway well. Output depends on tube diameter, length and the number of bends.
Will it get condensation?
Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
