Ordering flat rooflights for jobs in Essex
Rooflights in England should meet the limiting U-value for rooflights in Approved Document L. The glazing can be specified to suit where the job is, and the U-value is stated on your quote.
A flat rooflight should not be laid dead flat. Water needs to run off, so the upstand is built to a slight fall or the unit has one built in.

Building regulations in England
Replacement rooflights and roof lanterns in England should meet a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K under Approved Document L. A lantern in a new extension is covered by the extension's own building regulations approval. Replacing a glazed or polycarbonate conservatory roof with a solid roof usually takes the conservatory out of the exemption, so building control approval is normally needed.
Every order is confirmed in writing first. The acknowledgement lists each item exactly as it will be made, so any mistake in a size or handing can be caught before manufacture.

How do I get trade prices for Essex?
Send your schedule through the quote form or by email, and apply for a trade account if you do not already have one.
Why does a flat rooflight need a fall?
So rainwater runs off instead of sitting on the glass. The upstand or the unit provides the slope.
Can I walk on a flat rooflight?
