Things to consider before buying a roof lantern
It is without explanation that you will require a flat roof for the installation of a roof lantern. The roof will then need to be checked that it can cope with the weight of glass and aluminium frame. If your roof structure cannot take the weight of a roof lantern then you will need to strengthen your structure before it is installed.
As a homeowner you need to consider the height of the lantern, and where it will be positioned on the home. We recommend that windows elsewhere on your property should be considered to avoid any blocking the element may have when installed.
You don't normally need planning permission when adding a roof lantern to your property, but this is dependant on the location of the home extension front, rear or side and its size. We advise it is best to always check with your local authorities first.
