Jilly Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I've got a small hall with no windows and a flat roof. I'm looking for a low profile roof light which won't show, perhaps triple glazed? if there is such a thing (Conservation Area) or maybe it's a risk? Google isn't very helpful, does anyone have recommendations please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyT Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I thought of the led panel as it wouldn’t need planning etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Does it need to be a sun pipe? There are quite a lot of regular roof lights around. The key is to find a good installer as its important to get the upstand built correctly to the manufacturers spec so it doesn't leak. They can be made less than 150mm high which is the normal allowance before Planning Permission is needed.

Temp Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Just about any solution will have some sort of "upstand" requirement on a flat roof (including the sun tunnels). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilly Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Yup, the lot: Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England), no development as specified in Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, B, C, D, E, F and G shall be undertaken without the prior consent, in writing, of the Local Planning Authority.

SteamyTea Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Can you make a periscope that pokes out the side, maybe built into a porch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they work in any orientation. Only two mirrors directing the light after all. You can get posh and incorporate some lensing by distorting the mirrors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilly Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 I might be able to make something with mirrors. The door has to be solid and I can have a proper porch (see above) but will have a bit of overhang. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get a white plastic bag to act as a diffuser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
