How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Halewood
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Halewood 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.
Converted mills and warehouses in the North West often have large rooflights or glass roofs that need specialist replacement. In Halewood, as anywhere, sun tunnels & tubular skylights are the usual choice for windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.

Planning, building control and Halewood
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. 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.

Yes, with a flat-roof flashing and upstand.
Is the survey in Halewood free?
