Is a Skylight the Right Answer?
Natural light transforms a room more than almost any other single change — here’s when a roof window genuinely earns its place.
A loft conversion needs natural light
Building regulations often require adequate natural light and ventilation for a loft to count as habitable space.
A hallway, landing or bathroom has no window
A tubular skylight can bring genuine daylight into a windowless internal space without any structural work.
A kitchen extension flat roof feels dark
A roof lantern is one of the most effective ways to flood an extension with light without losing wall space to windows.
An existing skylight has failed
Fogged-up glass means the sealed unit has failed, and persistent leaks around an old skylight usually mean the flashing kit needs replacing.
Four Types, Matched to Your Space
The right roof window depends on your roof type and the room underneath it — your surveyor recommends what actually suits your property.
Pitched Roof Windows
Fitted directly into a pitched roof slope, ideal for loft conversions — openable for ventilation, with solar control glass available to reduce overheating.
Flat Roof Lanterns
A raised, multi-panel glass structure fitted into a flat roof — the standard choice for flooding a kitchen extension with natural light.
Sun Tunnels
A reflective tube channels daylight from the roof down into a windowless room below — genuinely effective in hallways, landings and internal bathrooms.
Walk-On Rooflights
Reinforced glazing rated to be walked on directly, used where a flat roof also serves as a terrace or accessible outdoor space above.
Skylights on Hackney's Housing Stock
Hackney’s property types shape which skylight makes sense here.
Dalston & Stoke Newington's Terraces
Hackney's Victorian terraces often have loft space worth converting, making pitched roof windows one of the most requested additions in the borough.
Rear Extension Lanterns
Rear extensions across the borough's terraced streets are a common source of flat roof lantern requests.
Converted Industrial Buildings
Large-format skylights and roof lanterns are especially common in Hackney's many converted Victorian warehouses, bringing natural light into deep floorplates.

What Hackney Homeowners Say
Dalston · Loft Conversion Roof Window
“Loft conversion needed two roof windows for building regs. Surveyor sized and positioned them properly first time, fully weathertight, no issues at building control sign-off.”
Stoke Newington · Kitchen Extension Roof Lantern
“Roof lantern completely changed how bright the kitchen extension feels. Solar control glass recommended to stop it overheating in summer, exactly as promised so far.”
Homerton · Sun Tunnel, Internal Bathroom
“Windowless bathroom that always needed the light on. Sun tunnel fitted in half a day and it’s genuinely bright in there now, even on an overcast day.”

Skylight Installation in Hackney, Answered
Most roof windows fitted flush with the roof slope fall under permitted development and don't need planning permission. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, or the window projects above the roof plane, we'll flag this during your free survey.
Often yes — building regulations typically require a means of escape for a habitable loft room, which usually means at least one roof window meeting minimum opening size requirements. Your surveyor will confirm what's needed for your specific conversion.
Fogging between the panes means the sealed double-glazed unit has failed and moisture has got in. This isn't usually a safety issue, but it does mean the unit needs replacing — often just the glass unit, not the whole window frame.
For bringing daylight into a windowless space, yes — a well-fitted sun tunnel genuinely transforms a dark hallway or internal bathroom. It won't provide a view or ventilation like an opening window, but for pure daylight it performs very well.
