A sun tunnel brings daylight from a roof collector through a reflective tube to a diffuser in the ceiling. It can brighten an internal room below a loft or suitable flat roof without a full roof window. The route still needs a survey: roof shading, available space and obstructions all affect the result.
Reasons to arrange an assessment in Stocksbridge
- A landing needs artificial light even on bright days.
- An internal WC or corridor has no external wall for a window.
- You want to assess a small roof opening before considering larger alterations.
What to ask the installer to include
- Check the roof covering, shading and working access during the first survey.
- Measure the roof-to-ceiling route, checking rafters, joists, pipes and cables before marking openings.
- Choose the diameter, roof kit and ceiling fitting for the room rather than ordering a generic kit.
- Protect the room, form the openings without unapproved timber alterations, fit the flashing and secure the tube.
- Finish the seals, restore displaced insulation and confirm who handles ceiling repairs and rubbish.
Daylight varies with the weather and time of day. A sun tunnel does not provide a view or normally open for fresh air, and ordinary electric lighting is still needed after dark.
