Contemporary roof lanterns for London homes
Slim frames, fewer bars and a lower profile for a cleaner view of the sky.
At 51.51°N, London sees roughly 7h 49m of daylight in late December and 16h 38m in late June. A lantern faces the bright overhead sky all year, so it brings in useful light even on the short, grey days.

- Ideal for modern rendered extensions
- Larger glass units between bars

Planning and building regulations for London
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 London 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 London
Can I have a contemporary lantern in white?
Yes, though most buyers choose grey or black because the slimmer frame is the point and dark frames disappear against the sky.
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in London?
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to London?
Yes. Delivery to London (EC1A) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
