Questions from Willenhall
Can I have a manual opening vent?
Manual vents are rare on lanterns because they are out of reach. Electric operation is standard.
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 you fit a roof lantern in Willenhall?
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 I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Willenhall?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
