Replacement roof lanterns for Wolverhampton homes
Swap a tired, leaking or polycarbonate lantern for modern double glazing.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 60.9° high over Wolverhampton, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Replace old polycarbonate with glass
- Warmer, quieter, brighter
- Often a one-day swap on a sound kerb

Planning and building regulations for Wolverhampton
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 Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton
My old lantern leaks. Is it the lantern or the roof?
Often the roof or kerb detailing. A survey or close inspection will tell. If the lantern is the problem, replacing it is usually better value than repairing old polycarbonate.
Will a new lantern be warmer?
A modern double glazed lantern with a thermally broken frame loses far less heat than polycarbonate.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Wolverhampton?
With the midsummer sun about 60.9° high at noon, roof glass in Wolverhampton gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Wolverhampton?
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.
