How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Fulham
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Fulham means light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We cover the SW6 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Mansard and loft conversions are common across London, and roof windows are often set out alongside dormers on the rear slope. Sun tunnels & tubular skylights suit windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
We work across Greater London, including Fulham, and in neighbouring towns such as Chelsea and Wandsworth. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Fulham?
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.

Yes, with a flat-roof flashing and upstand.

Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
