Opening roof lanterns for Bath homes
Electric opening vents to let warm air out at the highest point of the room.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 62.1° high over Bath, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Switch or remote control
- Plan the power supply early
- One or two vents depending on size

Planning and building regulations for Bath
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 Bath 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 Bath
Can a vent be added later?
Usually not to an existing fixed lantern. Decide before ordering.
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Bath?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for BA1.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Bath?
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.
