Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Burgess Hill: what is involved?
We handle sun tunnels & tubular skylights across West Sussex, including Burgess Hill. 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Typical uses for sun tunnels & tubular skylights include windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
From Burgess Hill to Haywards Heath, Portslade and Hove, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Things we check at survey

Planning, building control and Burgess Hill
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. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.

Questions about sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Burgess Hill
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.
Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.

Yes, with a flat-roof flashing and upstand.
