How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Yateley
For Yateley 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Typical uses for sun tunnels & tubular skylights include windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
We work across Hampshire, including Yateley, and in neighbouring towns such as Sandhurst and Crowthorne. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

What to check first
- Tube runs need insulation in cold lofts to limit condensation
- Not a substitute for a habitable-room window
Consents for sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Yateley
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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.

Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Yateley: questions
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.
How much light does a sun tunnel give?
A good rigid tunnel on a bright day lights a hallway well. Output depends on tube diameter, length and the number of bends.
