Roof Lantern Services
Roof Lantern Installation in Brighton, Sussex & Shoreham
Brighten your home with professionally installed roof lanterns, rooflights, and skylights across Brighton and the wider Sussex area.
Whether you’re upgrading a flat roof, adding to a kitchen extension, or modernising an orangery, our expert team supplies and fits a range of stylish, energy-efficient roof glazing solutions tailored to your home.
What Is a Roof Lantern, and Why Choose One?
A roof lantern is a glazed structure installed into a flat or pitched roof, designed to allow natural light into the space below. Unlike flat rooflights, a roof lantern has a raised profile with angled sides, often forming a pyramid or rectangular peak. These installations are ideal for kitchens, dining areas, and living spaces where increased light and visual impact are welcome.
Choosing a roof lantern in Brighton or Sussex offers a way to increase both brightness and value. They’re well suited to both traditional and modern homes, providing a visual centrepiece along with improved thermal performance and ventilation options.
Are Roof Lanterns Suitable for My Type of Home?
Roof lanterns can be fitted to a wide range of properties, from townhouses in Shoreham to detached homes across Brighton and Worthing. Whether it’s a flat roof extension, orangery, or new build project, there’s a solution to suit most structures.
Our team works on both domestic and commercial properties, making sure the pitch, weight, and glazing specifications match your roof build. We help you choose a design that fits your space and provides the right level of natural light and insulation.
What Styles and Shapes Are Available?
We supply and install a wide range of roof lanterns, including rectangular, square, and pyramid configurations. Each one is designed to maximise the glazed area while maintaining weather resistance and strength.
You can select from sleek aluminium roof lanterns for a contemporary touch, or go for more traditional aesthetics that blend with period properties. Each roof lantern is customisable in size, pitch, and colour.
Why Choose Aluminium Roof Lanterns?
Aluminium is one of the most popular materials for roof lanterns due to its strength, slim sightlines, and modern appearance. Unlike timber or PVC, aluminium requires very little maintenance and offers outstanding energy efficiency.
We fit aluminium roof lanterns across Brighton, Shoreham, and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a standard size or a bespoke roof lantern tailored to exact requirements, our installations are carried out with care for detail and thermal performance.
What’s the Difference Between a Rooflight and a Roof Lantern?
Both rooflights and roof lanterns are designed to allow natural light into your home. Rooflights are typically flat or only slightly pitched, and sit flush with the flat roof surface. Roof lanterns have raised, angled frames and a more prominent visual impact.
We offer both flat rooflights and roof lanterns, depending on your build and preferences. Flat rooflights are ideal for minimalist or low-profile applications, while lanterns provide a more elegant roof finish with increased light.
Where Can You Fit Roof Lanterns?
We install roof lanterns across a range of settings, including:
- Kitchen extensions
- Dining rooms
- Orangeries
- Loft conversions
- Hallways
- Commercial atriums
They’re especially useful in areas where standard windows or doors can’t provide enough daylight, such as internal rooms or areas below ground like a cellar.
What’s Involved in a Roof Lantern Installation?
Our expert team manages the full process, from supply to installation. We start with a site visit to assess your existing space and roof structure. Then we help you choose a product that meets your needs for light, style, and insulation.
The installation includes the support frame, sealed glazing units, weatherproof flashings, and internal finishing. All work is carried out to high standards with a focus on seamless integration and long-lasting performance.
Can Roof Lanterns Be Fitted with Blinds or Ventilation?
Yes. Many of the rooflights and lanterns we install are compatible with integrated blinds, manual or motorised, which help manage glare or heat in sunny areas. We also offer ventilation features, including top vents and automated openings.
This helps regulate temperature and moisture in areas like kitchens or orangeries, where airflow is key. If you have specific requirements, we’ll guide you through the options.
Do You Provide Bespoke Roof Lanterns?
Every roof lantern we fit is designed and manufactured to order. That means you can choose custom sizes, shapes, pitch angles, colour finishes, and glass specifications.
Whether you’re building a new extension or upgrading your current flat roof, we supply and install roof lanterns that match your project exactly, including finishing touches that complement the windows and doors of your property.
How Much Do Roof Lanterns Cost?
Roof lantern prices vary based on size, material, glazing type, and additional features like blinds or vents. A small standard aluminium roof lantern may be less expensive, while larger bespoke designs will sit at the higher end.
