Free, no-obligation quotes · response within 1 working hour · supply-only or fully installed
Around Braintree 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.
Braintree, Witham, Rayleigh and Billericay and the rest of Essex all sit inside standard coverage: free surveys, free quotes, and a response within 1 working hour.

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.
A correctly installed modern lantern shouldn't leak. Failures almost always trace back to the upstand or flashing rather than the lantern itself, which is why our installation teams dress and seal the junction as part of every fit, and why supply-only orders ship with full fitting instructions.
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.
