Self-cleaning glass roof lanterns for Christchurch homes
A coated outer pane that breaks down dirt in daylight and lets rain wash it away.
On the shortest day Christchurch gets about 7h 57m of daylight, with the sun only 15.8° above the horizon at noon. Light from the sky overhead is the brightest available in winter, which is exactly what a roof lantern collects.
- Coated outer pane loosens dirt in daylight
- Rain sheets off and carries dirt away
- Less cleaning on hard-to-reach glass

Planning and building regulations for Christchurch
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.
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 Christchurch 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 Christchurch
Is self-cleaning glass the same as solar-control glass?
No. Self-cleaning is a coating that sheds dirt; solar control reduces heat gain. Many lantern units combine both.
Does it work under trees?
Less well. Sap and leaf debris build up faster than daylight and rain can deal with them, so lanterns under trees need more regular rinsing.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Christchurch?
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 BH23.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Christchurch?
Yes. Delivery to Christchurch (BH23) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
