Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Scunthorpe: the essentials
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Scunthorpe 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Sun tunnels & tubular skylights suit windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Neighbouring towns include Goole (20 km) and Gainsborough (23 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

- Tube runs need insulation in cold lofts to limit condensation
- Light output falls with tube length and bends
Do you need permission in Scunthorpe?
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.

Yes, with a flat-roof flashing and upstand.

Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.
