Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Brighouse: the essentials
We handle sun tunnels & tubular skylights across West Yorkshire, including Brighouse. 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.
Exposed Pennine and coastal towns in Yorkshire need upstand and flashing details built for wind-driven rain. In Brighouse, as anywhere, sun tunnels & tubular skylights are the usual choice for small internal rooms where a full rooflight will not fit.
Neighbouring towns include Halifax (5 km) and Cleckheaton (5 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Brighouse?
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. 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. 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.

Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
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.
Can it work at night?
Some models include a light fitting in the diffuser.
Can you work alongside my builder in Brighouse?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
