Questions from South Benfleet
Can I add a lantern to my existing orangery roof?
If the roof has a suitable opening and upstand, yes. If not, the roof needs structural alteration first, which is a job for a builder with an engineer's input.
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
A conservatory has a mostly glazed roof; an orangery has a mostly solid roof with a lantern in the middle and usually more solid wall. Orangeries are easier to keep comfortable year round.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in South Benfleet?
With the midsummer sun about 61.9° high at noon, roof glass in South Benfleet gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in South Benfleet?
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.
