Roof lanterns and skylights in Woking
Woking is about 13 miles west of our base in Surbiton. Our job here took an old uPVC roof lantern off a flat roof and fitted a new Korniche aluminium lantern in its place.
Our work in Woking
The flat roof at the back of this Woking home had an old white uPVC lantern on a glazed base. We stripped it out, readied the opening and its upstand, and fitted a Korniche aluminium roof lantern that sits lower on the roof, with slimmer bars and larger panes.
Woking homes
Woking grew up around its railway station, which opened in 1838, and much of the town is Victorian, Edwardian and twentieth century housing. Many of these houses have since gained flat-roofed rear extensions, which a roof lantern or flat glass rooflight can light, and loft rooms, where Velux roof windows bring in daylight and air.
Flat roofs too
If an extension’s flat roof is near the end of its life, the best time to replace a lantern or add a rooflight is when the roof is renewed. We lay EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass roofs and fit the glass in the same job.
