Sun tunnels & tubular skylights for Redditch: the essentials
Sun tunnels & tubular skylights in Redditch means light pipes that bring daylight to halls and bathrooms with no window. We cover the B97 district and the rest of Worcestershire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. Think of sun tunnels & tubular skylights for windowless hallways, landings and bathrooms.

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

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.

A good rigid tunnel on a bright day lights a hallway well. Output depends on tube diameter, length and the number of bends.
