How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Cwmbran
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Cwmbran 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.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Sun tunnels & tubular skylights suit windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Neighbouring towns include Pontypool (5 km) and Risca (7 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Cwmbran?
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
