For roof lantern installation in Essex, we offer both routes: supply-only with delivery for builders and DIYers, and full installation by our own teams in Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend-on-Sea and county-wide.
Free, no-obligation quotes · response within 1 working hour · supply-only or fully installed
The county's housing stock — 1930s semis, new-build estates and barn conversions — large bifold-plus-lantern rear extensions are the dominant project type — shapes our recommendations here more than any brochure could.
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.
A standard domestic lantern on a ready kerb is a one-day job including sealing and trims. Cut-ins to existing roofs, oversize lanterns or plastered reveals extend that to two days.
A finished kerb to the dimensions we issue, the roof membrane dressed over it, and clear access for glass — which for larger panes can mean two fitters and lifting equipment we bring.
Yes — workmanship is guaranteed in writing, separate from and alongside the lantern manufacturer's product guarantee, so there's no gap between the two.
Yes — our teams cover England, Wales and Scotland. Distance affects scheduling more than price; we'll give you the next available slot for your postcode when you enquire.
Send the form and we’ll come back with honest prices — supply-only or installed — with a response within 1 working hour.
