Property across Dorset runs to coastal villas, thatched villages and retirement bungalows — light-filled garden rooms are a major driver — context that genuinely changes what we specify, from glazing coatings to frame colours and fixing details.
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.
Standard sizes below — made to measure quoted same day. Installation available nationwide if you’d rather we fit it.

Yes — thermally broken frames and argon-filled units mean a modern lantern performs far better than the polycarbonate roofs people remember. With a solar-control upgrade the room stays comfortable in summer too.
Most single-lantern installations are completed in a day once the upstand is ready. Larger or multiple-lantern projects typically run one to two days including flashing and internal making good.
Supply-only prices depend on size and glass specification — our online price list covers the standard sizes, and made-to-measure quotes usually come back the same day. Installed prices add the fitting, flashing and making good, and vary with roof access and upstand condition, so we confirm those on a free survey.
A 150mm minimum upstand is the standard requirement. It lifts the lantern clear of standing water on the flat roof and gives the flashing somewhere to dress. If your upstand isn't built yet, we'll supply the exact external kerb dimensions so your builder can form it ready for the lantern.
Send the form and we’ll come back with honest prices — supply-only or installed — with a response within 1 working hour.
