What do sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Woodford Green involve?
For Woodford Green 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.
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.
Neighbouring towns include Chingford (3 km) and Walthamstow (4 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Woodford Green
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
Can it work at night?
Some models include a light fitting in the diffuser.
Will it get condensation?
Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.
Is the survey in Woodford Green free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Woodford Green?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
