Questions from Lisburn
What happens if it rains while the vent is open?
With a rain sensor the vent closes automatically. Without one it stays where you left it, so a sensor is worth having.
Can I have a manual opening vent?
Manual vents are rare on lanterns because they are out of reach. Electric operation is standard.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Lisburn?
Yes. Delivery to Lisburn (BT27) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Lisburn?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district council before ordering.
