Questions from Stowmarket
Can I fit a small lantern myself?
Small lanterns are within the reach of a competent builder or roofer. The critical parts are a level, square, weatherproof upstand and the manufacturer's fixing instructions. In existing homes, replacement rooflights are building work that may need building control involvement.

Not usually. Background ventilation for the room can come from trickle vents or extract fans. Vents are more useful on lanterns over kitchens and large living spaces.
