For simple rectangles the premium over a stock size is usually modest. Special shapes cost more because each one is engineered individually.

Accurate to the millimetre on the outside of the kerb, measured at several points. Kerbs are rarely perfectly square, so measure both diagonals too. Our measuring guide shows how.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Maidstone?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
