Traditional roof lanterns for Taunton homes
Victorian-style detailing with ridge cresting and finials for period homes.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 62.4° high over Taunton, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Modern thermally broken aluminium frame
- Closer glazing bars for a period look
- Classic white or heritage colours

Planning and building regulations for Taunton
England's Approved Document L caps the U-value of new or replacement rooflights in existing homes at 2.2 W/m²K, calculated with the glass horizontal.
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 Taunton 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 Taunton
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.
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Taunton?
Yes. Delivery to Taunton (TA1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Taunton?
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.
