Questions from Kirkby-in-Ashfield
Is a traditional lantern harder to clean?
There are more bars, so there are more edges for dirt to collect along. Self-cleaning glass helps, but a gentle rinse once or twice a year is still worthwhile.
Can I have cresting without finials, or the other way round?
Usually yes. Ranges treat cresting and finials as options. Tell us what you want and the quote will list each item.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Kirkby-in-Ashfield?
With the midsummer sun about 60.3° high at noon, roof glass in Kirkby-in-Ashfield gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Kirkby-in-Ashfield?
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.
