Homeowners and builders in Manchester come to us for roof lanterns for a simple reason: honest supply-only prices, made-to-measure fabrication and installation available right across Greater Manchester.
Free, no-obligation quotes · response within 1 working hour · supply-only or fully installed
The Greater Manchester market is defined by red-brick terraces and 1930s semis where flat-roof kitchen extensions dominate, with growing demand for slim aluminium lanterns on contemporary builds — and our Manchester installs reflect that, with specifications matched to the property rather than pulled off a shelf.
Specification doesn't change with postcode: thermally broken frames, 28mm argon-filled glazing, marine-grade powder coating and a 10-year guarantee, whether you buy supply-only for your own builder or book our installation teams.
Our teams cover Manchester alongside Rochdale, Bury and Wigan and the rest of Greater Manchester — surveys are free, quotes carry no obligation, and we aim for a response within 1 working hour.
Standard sizes below — made to measure quoted same day. Installation available nationwide if you’d rather we fit it.

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 — 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.
We do. Manchester and the surrounding Greater Manchester towns are core territory for both our installation teams and our supply-only delivery routes.
For Manchester: same-day made-to-measure quotes, standard sizes delivering in around 7–10 working days, and installation slots booked to suit once the survey's done.
Send the form and we’ll come back with honest prices — supply-only or installed — with a response within 1 working hour.
