From Grays 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
Around Grays and the wider county, housing stock runs to 1930s semis, new-build estates and barn conversions — large bifold-plus-lantern rear extensions are the dominant project type. We've specified and supplied for exactly these property types across Essex, so recommendations come from real local precedent.
Every lantern is thermally broken aluminium as standard, glazed with 28mm argon-filled units, and available with self-clean and solar-control coatings. Supply-only orders include kerb specifications and fitting documentation; installed projects carry our written workmanship guarantee on top of the 10-year product cover.
Grays, Frinton-on-Sea, Chelmsford and Colchester and the rest of Essex all sit inside standard coverage: free surveys, free quotes, and a response within 1 working hour.
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 Grays and Essex, and if you'd rather buy supply-only, kerbside delivery to Grays is included in our standard service.
Standard-size supply-only prices are on the site now; made-to-measure quotes for Grays 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.
