If the room under your lantern overheats in summer or glares, the glass is usually the problem, not the frame. Send photos from Prestatyn (LL19) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Bright open-plan living space lit by a large roof lantern with solar control glass

Is it time for solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades?

  • The room is noticeably hotter than the rest of the house in summer
  • Glare on screens or worktops
  • Clear, uncoated glass in an older lantern

Why it happens

Clear or standard Low-E glass

Standard units let a lot of solar heat through; solar control coatings reflect more of it.

Orientation

South- and west-facing lanterns gain the most heat in the afternoon.

Roof lanterns in Prestatyn

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

We cover Prestatyn as part of Clwyd, about 26 miles from Wrexham.

Neighbouring places we cover include Rhyl (4 miles), Abergele (8 miles), Denbigh (11 miles).

Do you need permission in Wales?

In Wales, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.

Which places near Prestatyn do you cover?

Can you add a film instead?

Films are cheaper but can affect the unit's warranty and may not suit sloped double glazing. We'd rather replace the unit properly.

Does self-cleaning glass mean no cleaning?

It reduces cleaning on the outer face but still needs rain and occasional rinsing, and the inside still needs cleaning.
