Questions from Livingston
What height should my upstand be?
High enough to keep water away from the lantern seal, commonly at least 150 mm above the finished roof surface. Follow the instructions for your chosen range.
Do I need an upstand for a roof lantern?
Yes. Lanterns are designed to sit on an upstand, never directly on the roof deck.

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 EH54.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Livingston?
With the midsummer sun about 57.5° high at noon, roof glass in Livingston gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
