How we approach roof lanterns in Feltham
We handle roof lanterns across Greater London, including Feltham. In short: hipped glass lanterns that lift the ceiling of orangeries and extensions. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. Typical uses for roof lanterns include orangeries, kitchen-diners and single-storey extensions.
From Feltham to Ashford, Surrey, Hounslow and Sunbury-on-Thames, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Options we can specify in Feltham
- Solar-control or self-cleaning glass
- Rectangular, square or bespoke sizes
- Internal and external colours
- Aluminium or uPVC systems
- LED lighting in the plaster box
- Light from every angle across the day
- Double or triple glazed with solar-control options
Things we check at survey
- Plaster-box depth affects how the lantern looks from below
- Some designs project above the roof enough to affect planning on certain houses
Consents for roof lanterns in Feltham
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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Roof lanterns in Feltham: questions
Aluminium or uPVC?

How big can a lantern be?
Aluminium systems go to around three by six metres in standard ranges; larger sizes are made to order.
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.
