Contemporary roof lanterns for Greenwich 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 Greenwich, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Slim frames and fewer glazing bars
- Ideal for modern rendered extensions
- More sky, less frame from inside

Planning and building regulations for Greenwich
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.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.
Building regulations in Greenwich 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 Greenwich
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.
Are contemporary lanterns weaker?
They are engineered for the sizes they are sold in. That is exactly why their maximum sizes are often smaller: the frame is slimmer, so each range has its own limits.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Greenwich?
With the midsummer sun about 62.0° high at noon, roof glass in Greenwich gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Greenwich?
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.
