We carry out solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades in Stourport-on-Severn and across the DY13 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
- Glare on screens or worktops
- Furniture or flooring fading under the lantern
- Clear, uncoated glass in an older lantern
Why it happens

What should you expect to pay in Stourport-on-Severn?
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.
