How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Beverley
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Beverley 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.
Conservation areas and stone villages across Yorkshire often call for conservation rooflights in slate or stone-slate roofs. Think of sun tunnels & tubular skylights for windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
We work across the East Riding of Yorkshire, including Beverley, and in neighbouring towns such as Hull and Hornsea. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Beverley
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.

Common questions
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.
Can it work at night?
Some models include a light fitting in the diffuser.
Can it go through a flat roof?
Yes, with a flat-roof flashing and upstand.
Will I need planning permission in Beverley?
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Beverley?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
