What do roof lanterns in Hornsea involve?
Roof lanterns in Hornsea means hipped glass lanterns that lift the ceiling of orangeries and extensions. We cover the HU18 district and the rest of the East Riding of Yorkshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Exposed Pennine and coastal towns in Yorkshire need upstand and flashing details built for wind-driven rain. Think of roof lanterns for rooms that need height as well as light.
From Hornsea to Beverley, Bridlington and Hull, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

- LED lighting in the plaster box

Planning and building rules for Hornsea
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Roof lanterns in Hornsea: questions
Roof lantern or flat rooflight?
A lantern adds height and sky from all sides; a flat rooflight is lower-profile and cleaner from outside. Our guide compares them in detail.
Aluminium or uPVC?
Aluminium gives slimmer bars and a longer life; uPVC costs less. We fit both.
How big can a lantern be?
Aluminium systems go to around three by six metres in standard ranges; larger sizes are made to order.
