Lantern upstands for Wimbledon projects

- Prefabricated insulated or site-built timber
- Ordered with your lantern if you wish
- Lifts the lantern clear of the roof finish

Planning and building regulations for Wimbledon
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.
On a permitted development extension the lantern counts towards the extension's height; on an existing roof, a rooflight projecting more than 150 mm may need planning permission.
Building regulations in Wimbledon 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 Wimbledon
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Wimbledon?
With the midsummer sun about 62.0° high at noon, roof glass in Wimbledon gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Wimbledon?
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.
