How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Burnham-on-Sea
We handle sun tunnels & tubular skylights across Somerset, including Burnham-on-Sea. In short: light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many South West towns mix Georgian and Victorian terraces with modern estates, so the right product differs street by street. Sun tunnels & tubular skylights suit windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Jobs in Burnham-on-Sea are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning, building control and Burnham-on-Sea
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.

Questions about sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Burnham-on-Sea
Will it get condensation?
Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.
Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
Do sun tunnels need planning permission?
Usually not on a house, provided the dome does not project too far and the property is not listed. Check if you live in a conservation area or a flat.

Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
