Kitchen with a roof lantern flooding the room with daylight

Roof lights

Daylight,
from above.

Flat glass roof lights and roof lanterns that bring a calm sense of volume to kitchens, extensions and living spaces — made to measure, double or triple glazed.

Why roof lights

Dark rooms feel smaller
than they are.

Overhead glazing lets in up to three times more daylight than a vertical window of the same size.

A single roof light brightens deep floor plans, cuts reliance on artificial lighting and makes compact spaces feel open. It's the go-to choice for kitchen and rear extensions, loft conversions, garden rooms and flat-roofed side returns.

Flat roof lights

A near-frameless view of the sky.

A fixed or opening glazed unit set on an insulated upstand in a flat or low-pitched roof. Every unit is manufactured to your exact opening — from a compact 600mm square to a statement structural glass span.

Roof lights glowing warmly at dusk

Roof lanterns

Height, drama and 360° light.

A pitched, multi-panel glazed structure that rises above the roofline. Slim, thermally broken aluminium frames in anthracite grey, matte black, classic white and more — a centrepiece for modern extensions and period homes alike.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need planning permission for a roof light?

In most cases, no. Roof lights and lanterns usually fall under permitted development, provided they don’t project more than 150mm above the roof plane. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the main exceptions.

How much do flat glass roof lights cost?

It depends on size, glazing specification and whether the unit is fixed or opening. We provide a free written quotation after a quick survey, so you know the exact cost before any work begins.

Can you repair an existing roof light?

Yes — leaks, cracked or misted glazing, failed seals and condensation. See our repair services.
