Free, no-obligation quotes · response within 1 working hour · supply-only or fully installed
Around Basildon 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.
Basildon, Rayleigh, Billericay and Maldon and the rest of Essex all sit inside standard coverage: free surveys, free quotes, and a response within 1 working hour.
Usually — if your frame takes standard sealed units we can manufacture self-clean replacements to size and fit them in situ, upgrading the glass without touching the structure.
The self-clean layer itself is virtually invisible. Any tint you see comes from the solar-control side of the unit — blue is the popular choice, neutral keeps the glass colour-true.
Yes, within honest limits. Daylight breaks down organic dirt and rain rinses it off in sheets, so the glass stays presentably clean with almost no intervention. Heavy bird soiling or long droughts still occasionally want a hose.
No — it's pyrolytic, fired into the glass surface during manufacture rather than applied afterwards, so it lasts the life of the unit with nothing to renew.
Yes — installation is available across Basildon and Essex, and if you'd rather buy supply-only, kerbside delivery to Basildon is included in our standard service.
Standard-size supply-only prices are on the site now; made-to-measure quotes for Basildon usually come back the same working day, and installed projects are priced after a free survey.
Send the form and we’ll come back with honest prices — supply-only or installed — with a response within 1 working hour.
