How we approach sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Leeds
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Leeds means light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We cover the LS1 district and the rest of West Yorkshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Converted barns and mills in Yorkshire often suit bespoke or ridge rooflights that follow the original structure. In Leeds, as anywhere, sun tunnels & tubular skylights are the usual choice for windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
We cover all of Leeds and the LS1 district, and nearby Morley and Pudsey.
Choices for your Leeds project

Things we check at survey
- Light output falls with tube length and bends
- Tube runs need insulation in cold lofts to limit condensation
Do you need permission in Leeds?
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.
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
