Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Holloway: the essentials
We handle sun tunnels & tubular skylights across Greater London, including Holloway. 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.
London homes often run deep from front to back, so the middle of the ground floor is the darkest space — exactly where an overhead rooflight earns its keep. Typical uses for sun tunnels & tubular skylights include small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Highbury (2 km) and Camden Town (2 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Holloway
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.
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. 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.

A good rigid tunnel on a bright day lights a hallway well. Output depends on tube diameter, length and the number of bends.
