We carry out solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades in Droitwich and across the WR9 area. If the room under your lantern overheats in summer or glares, the glass is usually the problem, not the frame.

Signs you need 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

What usually causes it?

Clear or standard Low-E glass

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

No ventilation

A lantern without opening vents traps warm air at ceiling level.

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?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
