Traditional roof lanterns for March homes
Victorian-style detailing with ridge cresting and finials for period homes.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 60.9° high over March, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Closer glazing bars for a period look
- Specification sheets for consent applications

Planning and building regulations for March
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 March 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 March
Do you make timber traditional lanterns?
Our range is aluminium and uPVC. Aluminium can be powder-coated in heritage colours that suit timber windows and doors.
Will a traditional lantern need planning permission?
The style does not change the planning position; size, height and location do. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the main cases where consent is more likely to be needed.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in March?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
Can you fit a roof lantern in March?
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.
