Whether it's a single lantern over a Swanage kitchen or a multi-roof development, our opening & vented roof lanterns service pairs supply-only pricing with nationwide installation — and Dorset is core territory for both.
Free, no-obligation quotes · response within 1 working hour · supply-only or fully installed
Dorset property here means coastal villas, thatched villages and retirement bungalows — light-filled garden rooms are a major driver. That local context shapes what we recommend in Swanage — from glass specification to frame colour — before a single quote is written.
Frames are thermally broken aluminium, glazing is 28mm argon-filled with self-clean and solar options, and everything is made to measure. Buy supply-only with kerbside delivery, or have our fitters handle the lot under a written workmanship guarantee.
From Swanage we also serve Dorchester, Christchurch and Wimborne Minster and the wider county — so if you're comparing quotes anywhere in Dorset, ours is free, fast and without obligation.
Over kitchens and in south-facing rooms, emphatically yes — venting at the highest point purges heat and steam faster than any window can. In cooler, well-ventilated rooms a fixed lantern plus good doors often suffices.
The rain sensor closes it automatically — it's a standard part of the package, not an optional extra, so an open vent and a surprise shower never meet.
Only on certain systems — vents are normally factory-built into the roof slope. Send photos of your lantern and we'll confirm whether a retrofit sash exists for it or whether replacement is the honest answer.
Your choice: a simple wall switch, a remote, app control, or full automation that opens on temperature and closes on rain. Most kitchens land on switch-plus-rain-sensor.
Yes — installation is available across Swanage and Dorset, and if you'd rather buy supply-only, kerbside delivery to Swanage is included in our standard service.
Standard-size supply-only prices are on the site now; made-to-measure quotes for Swanage usually come back the same working day, and installed projects are priced after a free survey.
Send the form and we’ll come back with honest prices — supply-only or installed — with a response within 1 working hour.
