Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Bromsgrove: the essentials
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Bromsgrove means light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We cover the B61 district and the rest of Worcestershire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. Sun tunnels & tubular skylights suit windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.
Bromsgrove is around 20 km from Worcester, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Worcestershire, including the B61 district.

Planning and building rules for Bromsgrove
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.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Bromsgrove

Insulating the tube where it passes through a cold loft prevents most condensation.
Can it go through a flat roof?
Yes, with a flat-roof flashing and upstand.
Rigid or flexible tube?
Rigid tubes carry much more light. Flexible tubes are easier where the loft is cluttered, but lose light faster.
