Contemporary roof lanterns for Mangotsfield homes
Slim frames, fewer bars and a lower profile for a cleaner view of the sky.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 62.0° high over Mangotsfield, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Larger glass units between bars
- Slim profile suits anthracite and black
- Ideal for modern rendered extensions

Planning and building regulations for Mangotsfield
For homes in England, a new or replacement rooflight should achieve a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K or better in the horizontal position, under Approved Document L.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations in Mangotsfield are checked by your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work. Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Questions from Mangotsfield
Do contemporary lanterns cost more?
Usually a little more per size than a standard range, because the bigger glass units cost more to make and handle.
Is a contemporary lantern the same as a flat rooflight?
No. A contemporary lantern still has sloping glass and a ridge or apex; it simply has slimmer frames and fewer bars. A flat rooflight is a single, nearly flat pane of glass on an upstand.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Mangotsfield?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Mangotsfield?
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.
