Scottish Borders property here means mill-town terraces and rural steadings with heritage-sensitive lantern work. That local context shapes what we recommend in Melrose — 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 Melrose we also serve Hawick, Kelso and Peebles and the wider county — so if you're comparing quotes anywhere in Scottish Borders, 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.
We do. Melrose and the surrounding Scottish Borders towns are core territory for both our installation teams and our supply-only delivery routes.
For Melrose: 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.
