What do sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Mitcham involve?
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Mitcham means light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We cover the CR4 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
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. Think of sun tunnels & tubular skylights for small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
Jobs in Mitcham are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Pitched or flat-roof flashings
- Rigid (brighter) or flexible tubes

Things we check at survey
- Tube runs need insulation in cold lofts to limit condensation
- Not a substitute for a habitable-room window
Planning, building control and Mitcham
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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Mitcham
Will it get condensation?
Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.
Can it work at night?
Some models include a light fitting in the diffuser.
Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
