Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Newark-on-Trent: what is involved?
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Newark-on-Trent means light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We cover the NG24 district and the rest of Nottinghamshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.

Do you need permission in Newark-on-Trent?
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
