From Braintree kitchen extensions to full orangery builds, our opening & vented roof lanterns service covers supply-only delivery and complete installation throughout Essex — same product, your choice of who fits it.
Free, no-obligation quotes · response within 1 working hour · supply-only or fully installed
Like much of Essex, Braintree features 1930s semis, new-build estates and barn conversions — large bifold-plus-lantern rear extensions are the dominant project type. It's the kind of work our surveyors and fitting teams handle week in, week out across the East of England region.
You get the same product either way — thermally broken aluminium, self-clean and solar-control glass options, made to the millimetre. The only choice is who fits it: your builder with our documentation, or our own nationwide teams.
Coverage takes in Braintree, Epping, Frinton-on-Sea and Chelmsford and every corner of Essex. Surveys and quotes are free, with a response within 1 working hour on every enquiry.
Not in a quality system — the sash closes onto continuous gaskets and locks down tight. The vent panes carry the same glazing spec and guarantee as the fixed glass around them.
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.
Yes — installation is available across Braintree and Essex, and if you'd rather buy supply-only, kerbside delivery to Braintree is included in our standard service.
Standard-size supply-only prices are on the site now; made-to-measure quotes for Braintree 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.
