Worcester Park, Surrey
Skylights and rooflights in Worcester Park
Worcester Park is about two miles from our base in Surbiton. Our job here put a flat glass rooflight and a plastered light shaft over a hallway that had no daylight of its own.
Our work in Worcester Park
The hallway in this Worcester Park home had no windows, and a flat roof directly above it. We cut the opening, built a treated timber upstand, set a flat glass rooflight on it and weathered the roof covering up and around the kerb. Inside, a splayed, plastered shaft carries the daylight down into the hall, so it spreads wider than the glass itself.
Worcester Park homes
Much of Worcester Park was built between the wars, and many houses have since gained flat-roofed rear extensions and loft rooms. That leaves two common dark spots: the middle of a long extension, which a flat glass rooflight or roof lantern can light, and the landing or hallway in the middle of the house, where a rooflight with a shaft or a sun tunnel brings in daylight.

Questions from Worcester Park
Can a dark hallway have daylight of its own?
Usually, yes. If there is a flat roof or a loft above it, a rooflight or roof window with a lined shaft down to the ceiling brings daylight straight into the hall. Where the route is too long or awkward, a sun tunnel can do the same through a much smaller opening.
Which council deals with planning in Worcester Park?
Most of Worcester Park is in the London Borough of Sutton, and part is in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Most rooflights on houses are permitted development either way, but check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
