Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Walthamstow: the essentials
For Walthamstow homes and buildings we offer sun tunnels & tubular skylights: light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
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 Walthamstow, and in neighbouring towns such as Leytonstone and Tottenham. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

- Diffusers in several sizes

Before you order: points to check

Planning and building rules for Walthamstow
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.
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.
