What do sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Wolverhampton involve?
Our sun tunnels & tubular skylights service in Wolverhampton 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.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. Sun tunnels & tubular skylights suit small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Wednesfield (3 km) and Willenhall (4 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Wolverhampton?
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. 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.
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.

Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Wolverhampton: questions
Can it work at night?
Some models include a light fitting in the diffuser.
Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
Can it go through a flat roof?
Yes, with a flat-roof flashing and upstand.
Can you work alongside my builder in Wolverhampton?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Is the survey in Wolverhampton free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
