Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Stoke-on-Trent: the essentials
For Stoke-on-Trent 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.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Think of sun tunnels & tubular skylights for windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
We cover all of Stoke-on-Trent and the ST1 district, and nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme and Longton.

Planning, building control and Stoke-on-Trent
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.
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. 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.

Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Stoke-on-Trent: questions
Will it get condensation?
Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.
How much light does a sun tunnel give?
A good rigid tunnel on a bright day lights a hallway well. Output depends on tube diameter, length and the number of bends.
Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
