Common problems we fix in Thatcham
Dark, north-facing rooms
Rooms that never get direct sun feel gloomy. A well-placed lantern or rooflight brings in daylight all day.
Leaks around an existing rooflight
Poorly detailed kerbs and flashing let water in. We rebuild the detailing so it stays dry.
Condensation on old units
Single-glazed or failed units mist up and drip. Modern insulated glazing largely solves this.
Flat-roof extensions with no light
A blank flat roof over an extension wastes the chance for daylight. A lantern transforms the space.
Tired, dated skylights
Old plastic domes yellow and crack. We replace them with slim, efficient modern units.
Poorly fitted kerbs
A lantern set on a weak or uninsulated kerb leaks and loses heat. We build the kerb properly.

Roof Lanterns in Thatcham: your questions answered
Often yes. We inspect the flat roof in Thatcham first, check the structure and covering, and advise on the kerb and any flat-roof work needed so the lantern sits and seals correctly.
Leaks come down to the kerb and flashing, not the lantern itself. We build a proper upstand kerb and dress the flashing into the flat roof correctly, which is exactly the detailing that keeps it watertight for the long term.
It depends on the size of the room and the flat roof below. As a rule a larger opening brings in more light, but the structure and layout set the limits. We help you choose the right size and position at the free survey.
Adding or enlarging a rooflight can bring building regulations into play, particularly for glazing and structure. We will let you know what applies to your Thatcham project and work to the right standards.
A straightforward lantern or rooflight is usually fitted in a day or two once the kerb is ready. We confirm a timeline with your quote and keep the room protected while we work.
Yes. Our work carries a workmanship guarantee plus any manufacturer warranty on the unit, and we are fully insured and members of the Confederation of Roofing Contractors.
