Frequently Asked Questions About VELUX Sun Tunnel Installation in Merton

Do sun tunnels work on cloudy days in Merton?

Sun tunnels in Merton still provide useful light on overcast days, although output is highest in direct sun. They work well in the conditions typical of the area.

Do sun tunnels need planning permission in Merton?

VELUX sun tunnels in Merton usually fall within permitted development and do not need planning permission. We can advise if your property is listed or in a conservation area near Wimbledon Common, Morden Hall Park, Mitcham Common.

What is the difference between rigid and flexible sun tunnels in Merton?

Rigid sun tunnels give the brightest light where the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling. Flexible tunnels in Merton are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.

Can a sun tunnel be installed in most roof types in Merton?

Yes, we can install sun tunnels in most roof types in Merton, including those with conservation areas. We survey the roof and loft space first to choose the best tunnel type and route.

Local Merton Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation

Sun tunnel installation in Merton is ideal for hallways, bathrooms and utility rooms in the conservation areas typical of local homes. We choose the right tunnel type for the roof and ceiling position.

What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Merton?

A sun tunnel installation in Merton is planned around the conservation areas found in the property and the conditions it will be exposed to. We choose rigid or flexible tubing accordingly.

  • The ceiling diffuser is installed in the room below and sealed neatly.
  • We choose rigid or flexible tubing based on the straightness of the route and the light level needed.
  • The work area is cleaned and the system is checked before we leave.
  • A small roof dome is fitted on the roof and a reflective tube is routed to the ceiling.

Sun tunnel options for Merton homes

The right sun tunnel depends on the roof construction, the distance to the ceiling and the room you want to light.

  • Flat or pitched roof domes are chosen to match the existing roof covering.
  • Electric and solar-powered diffusers can add a small light boost for very dark rooms.
  • Flexible tunnels work around obstructions in the loft, though they lose a little more light.
  • Rigid sun tunnels give the brightest light where the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.

Sun tunnel installation know-how for Merton

Sun tunnel performance in Merton depends on keeping the route as short and straight as possible. We plan this during the initial survey for every property.

  • We finish the ceiling diffuser and roof dome neatly to match the room and roof covering.
  • Flexible tunnels are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.
  • Longer tunnel runs and multiple bends reduce light output, so we design the shortest practical route.
  • Rigid sun tunnels are the most efficient option when the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.
