Contemporary roof lanterns for Wigan homes
Slim frames, fewer bars and a lower profile for a cleaner view of the sky.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 59.9° high over Wigan, 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
- Lower profile from the garden
- Slim profile suits anthracite and black

Planning and building regulations for Wigan
England's Approved Document L caps the U-value of new or replacement rooflights in existing homes at 2.2 W/m²K, calculated with the glass horizontal.
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 Wigan 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 Wigan
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.
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Wigan?
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Wigan?
Yes. Delivery to Wigan (WN1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
