Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Camberley: the essentials
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Camberley means light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We cover the GU15 district and the rest of Surrey, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Typical uses for sun tunnels & tubular skylights include windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Camberley is around 13 km from Woking, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Surrey, including the GU15 district.

Consents for sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Camberley
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.
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
