How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Notting Hill
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Notting Hill 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.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. Sun tunnels & tubular skylights suit small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
Notting Hill sits about 1 km from Shepherds Bush and 2 km from Kensington, and we cover the whole W11 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules for Notting Hill
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. 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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Common questions
Will it get condensation?
Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.
Do sun tunnels need planning permission?
Usually not on a house, provided the dome does not project too far and the property is not listed. Check if you live in a conservation area or a flat.
Can it work at night?
Some models include a light fitting in the diffuser.
