Essex property here means 1930s semis, new-build estates and barn conversions — large bifold-plus-lantern rear extensions are the dominant project type. That local context shapes what we recommend in Colchester — from glass specification to frame colour — before a single quote is written.
Frames are thermally broken aluminium, glazing is 28mm argon-filled with self-clean and solar options, and everything is made to measure. Buy supply-only with kerbside delivery, or have our fitters handle the lot under a written workmanship guarantee.
From Colchester we also serve Saffron Walden, Epping and Frinton-on-Sea and the wider county — so if you're comparing quotes anywhere in Essex, ours is free, fast and without obligation.
Standard sizes below — made to measure quoted same day. Installation available nationwide if you’d rather we fit it.

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 — Colchester is inside our standard Essex coverage. Our fitting teams survey and install throughout the area, and supply-only deliveries run to Colchester on dedicated glass transport.
Stocked standard sizes typically deliver to Colchester within 7–10 working days; made-to-measure fabrication adds to that, and we confirm the slot when you order so it lands with your build programme.
Send the form and we’ll come back with honest prices — supply-only or installed — with a response within 1 working hour.
