Sun tunnel installation in Surrey

Before any sun tunnel is fitted in Surrey, three measurements get checked: the builder's opening, the external size of the unit, and the flashing kit and the roof pitch range, or the batten and tile details on a pitched roof. Get those right and the rest of the job follows. We handle sun tunnel installation in every part of Surrey, with 26 towns listed on the site and the countryside between them covered too.

Towns we list in Surrey

Surrey is part of our normal coverage in England. Fitting teams travel out to the property, so a town-centre terrace and a house down a farm track are treated alike, as long as a fitter can get the unit to the roof safely. Dates are offered according to fitter availability, and the cost of travel is already in your written quote.

What's included

  • Rigid or flexible tube run and joined, with as few bends as possible
  • Dust cleared from the room below and the loft
  • Dome fixed and sealed on top of the flashing
  • Length and bends in the tube — We plan the shortest, straightest route we can between the roof and the ceiling.
  • Flat or pitched roof kit — We confirm the roof type and covering before ordering the kit.

Rules that apply in England

England's rules in short: permitted development usually covers a rooflight on a house roof provided it doesn't stick out more than 0.15 m or rise above the ridge, though a listed building always needs consent and some streets have Article 4 directions. Building regulations apply to new openings, and replacements go through building control; as we are not registered with a competent person scheme, we use a building notice and show the fee on the quote. The energy limit for rooflights in existing homes is 2.2 W/m²K, and the 2026 Approved Document L, in force from 24 March 2027, keeps that figure.

Common questions in Surrey

Do you cover Surrey?

Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Surrey and the surrounding districts, including CR, GU, KT, RH, SM and TW postcodes. We do not run an office there; the survey and the fitting happen at your property. A few island and remote postcodes are covered by arrangement; if yours is one, we confirm travel and dates before quoting.

Do you make good inside after fitting?

Yes, where the quote includes it. Internal finishing usually means lining the reveal with plasterboard, taping or skimming, and fitting trim where it meets the ceiling. Some people prefer their own plasterer or decorator to finish off, which is fine. The written quote spells out exactly where our work stops, so nobody is left guessing about who does what once the unit is in.

Do I need planning permission for a rooflight in Surrey?

Often not. Many rooflights fall under permitted development, provided they do not project beyond the national limit and meet the other conditions that apply in England. Conservation areas, listed buildings and some flats are different and may need consent. Because the rules depend on the property, we confirm what is likely to apply at your address and point you to the planning authority where an application is needed.
