Brighten Your Living Space Without Losing Heat
Bringing natural light deep into a building is simpler and more attractive with a glass roof lantern.
Our specialist roof lantern installation team serves homes and businesses across Peterborough and nearby villages.
We offer both modern slim designs and classic styles for older homes.
Our units provide great thermal performance and lasting style.
A lantern sits above the roof line, drawing daylight from several angles and spreading it across your room.
Clients say the extra light changes how they use their spaces. Kitchen islands turn into breakfast spots.
Playrooms feel bigger, and work areas feel more cheerful.
Lanterns have glass on many sides. They capture more light than regular roof lights, skylights, or rooflights.
This is especially true in rooms with only one outside wall.
One of the main benefits of our roof lantern installations is their superior thermal performance.
We use high-quality glazed units that act as strong insulators.
We also use thermally broken aluminium frames to reduce heat transfer. This design maintains a steady indoor temperature all year.
Our roof lanterns reduce the need for extra heating or cooling, resulting in lower energy bills and a more comfortable climate.
By letting in more natural daylight, our roof lanterns reduce the need for artificial light.
This change makes your property more energy efficient and sustainable.
When you choose our roof lantern solutions, you invest in long-term energy savings and comfort.
Every installation we complete meets current building regulations. We know that safety and legal compliance matter.
Our team works hard to ensure every roof lantern installation meets all requirements.
We secure the necessary planning permission for installations on existing, flat, or pitched roofs.
This process makes your project safe and fully compliant.
Our roof lantern solutions suit a wide range of uses. They work well in both residential and commercial settings.
Homeowners install them in kitchens, dining areas, conservatories, or living rooms.
Commercial property owners benefit from added natural daylight in offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and cafes.
We design our products to integrate smoothly with your property.
Whether you work on an existing roof or add a new feature on flat or pitched roofs, our roof lanterns offer an ideal solution.
A roof lantern adds a modern touch to any building. It is a stylish way to add natural daylight without major changes.
Our products fit the existing roof structure and provide a clean, contemporary look.
They work well with both traditional and modern buildings, adding light without disturbing the overall design.
Most extensions in the UK have a flat roof because it is cost‑effective and quick to construct.
A flat roof lantern breaks up the plain surface, draws the eye upward, and fills the space below with daylight.
If your home already has pitched roofs, we can integrate a bespoke lantern that follows the slope of the rafters, brightening loft conversions, stairwells, or vaulted garden rooms.
Our surveyor will advise which approach works best for your project, considering joist direction, load paths, and the finish of your existing roof.
We only fit lanterns that meet or exceed current building regulations.
Every glass roof lantern we install has a thermal break to stop cold bridging and comes with argon‑filled double glazing as standard.
For projects needing even better energy efficiency, we can upgrade to triple glazing and solar‑control coatings that reduce summer heat gain without dimming indoor light.
Frames and cappings use marine‑grade powder coating for corrosion resistance on exposed sites.
High‑performance gaskets, warm‑edge spacers, and trickle vents keep your lantern watertight, draught‑free, and well ventilated year after year.
From first sketch to final clean‑down, we handle everything:
Because we keep every stage in‑house, schedules are easier to plan and delays are rare.
Our installers arrive on time, cover traffic routes, and protect furnishings.
Where cutting is required, extraction units keep dust to a minimum.
We remove packaging for recycling and leave the site ready for your plasterer or decorator.
Typical fitting time is one day, though this can vary depending on roof height and weather.

No two projects are identical, so every lantern is built to custom sizes.
That flexibility lets us match new openings, widen existing apertures, or work around structural steel.
We install square, rectangular, and pyramid shapes, with hip‑ended or contemporary minimal ridges.
Homeowners who want the narrowest sight‑lines can select systems with slender rafters and strong aluminium frames.
Our range covers:
All systems are available in anthracite, black, white, or any RAL colour on request.

Many lanterns fall under permitted development, meaning you won’t need formal consent.
However, there are exceptions: listed buildings, conservation areas, and lanterns that project more than 150 mm above the roof plane may need approval.
We have extensive experience securing planning permission and can handle the forms, drawings, and liaison with local officers on your behalf.
All structural changes follow Part A of the Building Regulations, and thermal elements meet or exceed Part L.
If you choose electric opening vents, we ensure wiring complies with Part P.
Replacing a dark, outdated polycarbonate roof with a modern glass roof lantern can lower heating bills.
High‑spec glass reflects infrared back into the room, while low‑iron coatings maximise winter sunlight gain.
These improvements often pay for themselves through lower energy use and increased property value.
Every element is chosen to balance looks, durability, and energy efficiency.
Our standard double glazing achieves a centre‑pane U‑value of 1.2 W/m²K, while triple glazing can push that down to 0.8 W/m²K.
Tinted solar glass, self‑clean coatings, and laminated inner panes are available for south‑facing extensions or pitched roofs where glare control and safety are priorities.
The aluminium frames are thermally broken and filled with insulating foam. Corner joints are die‑cast for strength, and all fixings are stainless steel to prevent rust.
Cappings clip securely without visible screws, creating the clean, slim profile that modern architecture demands.
We also offer lantern kerbs pre‑insulated with PIR, making them ideal when installing your roof lantern at the same time as a new warm‑deck flat roof.
This integrated approach saves labour and keeps insulation continuous.
Our glass carries a 20‑year seal warranty, the frames are guaranteed for 25 years, and workmanship is covered for a decade.
In the unlikely event of an issue, we run a no‑quibble call‑back policy.
We want you to be one of our next happy customers, glad to recommend us to friends and family.
For extra peace of mind, we belong to recognised trade bodies and hold public‑liability insurance well above the industry minimum.
Adding a lantern is an investment in light, comfort, and style.

Prices depend on custom sizes, glazing specification, and roof complexity. A small unit starts from around £1,400 supplied and installed.
Yes. Our powder‑coated aluminium frames can be finished in heritage colours, and we offer astragal bar options for a traditional appearance.
Manual or electric vent sashes are available. These help release warm air on hot days without compromising security.
Occasional cleaning with soapy water keeps glass and cappings looking their best. Hinges and seals should be checked annually.
Flush rooflights and skylights are ideal when planning rules restrict height. Lanterns admit more light and create a greater sense of space, so the best option depends on your design goals and roof type.
