Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in King's Lynn: what is involved?
For King's Lynn 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.
Flat, open landscape in much of the East means roofs take the wind, so upstand and seal details matter more than the brand of glass. In King's Lynn, as anywhere, sun tunnels & tubular skylights are the usual choice for small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
King's Lynn is around 62 km from Norwich, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Norfolk, including the PE30 district.
What you can choose
- Rigid (brighter) or flexible tubes
- Diffusers in several sizes
- Ventilation adaptor
- Insulated tube sections
- Pitched or flat-roof flashings
- Works on pitched and flat roofs
- Low maintenance
What to check first
- Not a substitute for a habitable-room window
- Light output falls with tube length and bends
Consents for sun tunnels & tubular skylights in King's Lynn
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. 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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
