How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Yeovil
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Yeovil 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.
Barn and chapel conversions in the South West often need bespoke or shaped rooflights to suit the original structure. Think of sun tunnels & tubular skylights for small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
Yeovil sits about 8 km from Sherborne and 25 km from Bridport, and we cover the whole BA20 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules for Yeovil
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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
