Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Greenford: what is involved?
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Greenford means light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We cover the UB6 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. Think of sun tunnels & tubular skylights for windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
We work across Greater London, including Greenford, and in neighbouring towns such as Northolt and Southall. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Greenford
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
