About This Service

Reliable Flat Roof Lights & Lanterns for Extension Homes

Every Flat Roof Lights & Lanterns project starts with a free, measured survey and technical template to specify kerb heights, upstands and waterproof junctions before any glazing is ordered. A three-stage process — survey and specification, factory-led product selection, then NVQ-qualified installation and watertight integration — protects the building fabric and internal finish. Clear written quotes and free no-obligation site visits are provided across Essex, Hertfordshire and London, backed by 18 years' roofing experience and manufacturer-backed guarantees where available.

Our Process

How It Works

01

Measured Site Survey

A site survey is carried out, structural details recorded, kerb heights set and drainage noted so the specification prevents water ingress and meets building regs.

02

Product Selection & Specification

The glazing system, thermal performance and flashings are chosen to suit the roof build-up and guarantee requirements, with a written quote provided.

03

NVQ‑Qualified Installation

The kerb is set up, tied into the existing roofing system, junctions sealed with manufacturer kits and handed over with guarantee paperwork and maintenance advice.

Benefits

Why Choose us for Flat Roof Lights & Lanterns?

Watertight integration with the roof

Kerbs, upstands and flashings are detailed to match felt, asphalt or single-ply systems so the glazed unit becomes part of the roof, not a risk to it.

Qualified fitters & manufacturer backing

NVQ-qualified operatives and manufacturer-backed guarantees provide reassurance on performance and longevity, with warranty terms listed on the quote.

Transparent process and local experience

Free measured surveys, clear written quotes and 18 years' experience across Essex, Hertfordshire and London make planning and installation straightforward.

Products and suitability. Flat roof lights are low-profile glazed units ideal for smaller extensions and loft conversions where headroom is limited. Roof lanterns are a raised, multi-faceted glazed structure for larger single-storey extensions or orangery-style spaces. JLT Roofing works with manufacturers to specify glass, thermal performance and inward-opening vents where required, matching the unit to the roof build-up.

Technical installation and waterproofing. Correct kerb construction, upstand height and flashing detail are critical. NVQ-qualified operatives install timber or insulated kerbs, tie the glazing into felt, asphalt or flat-roof membrane systems and, where necessary, carry out leadwork and welding or supply manufacturer flashing kits to ensure a long-term, watertight junction.

Site practice and handover. The interior is protected, waste removed and a final water-tightness check carried out before handover with written care instructions and warranty paperwork.

JLT Roofing covers Essex, Hertfordshire and London and brings 18 years' practical roofing experience to every installation.
