What do sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Llandrindod Wells involve?
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Llandrindod Wells means light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We cover the LD1 district and the rest of Powys, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best. Typical uses for sun tunnels & tubular skylights include windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Llandrindod Wells is around 31 km from Newtown, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Powys, including the LD1 district.

Do you need permission in Llandrindod Wells?
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
