If the room under your lantern overheats in summer or glares, the glass is usually the problem, not the frame. Send photos from Bridlington (YO16) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Signs you need solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades
- The room is noticeably hotter than the rest of the house in summer
- Furniture or flooring fading under the lantern
- Clear, uncoated glass in an older lantern
Common causes we find
Orientation
South- and west-facing lanterns gain the most heat in the afternoon.
No ventilation
A lantern without opening vents traps warm air at ceiling level.
About Bridlington and the YO16 area
Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

Guide prices for solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades in Bridlington
Guide price for solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades: £345–£895 ex VAT (£414–£1,074 inc VAT), per glass unit. Towers or scaffold, where needed, are priced into the quote. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.
Do you need permission in England?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.
