Working in Wells

Wells — England's smallest city — has one of the most conservation-controlled centres in the country. Listed-building consents for the cathedral close, Vicars' Close, and Market Place dominate our work across BA5, with slim-profile heritage glazing and authentic timber sash restoration as our main services.

For doors and glass extensions in Wells, residential property style typically drives the design brief across South West — whether that's contemporary aluminium bifolds spanning a garden-facing rear elevation, slim-frame sliding doors that maximise glass area on a modern extension, or heritage French doors fitted to a period façade. Most commonly we're working in BA5 postcodes. Typical lead time from survey to install: 4-6 weeks for standard configurations, 8-10 weeks for bespoke or large-span builds.

Our process

How we deliver in Wells

01

Survey & design

We measure the rooflight aperture and check structural opening, kerb height and timber framing. We help you choose between traditional roof lantern (pitched ridge) and modern flat skylight.

02

Manufacture

Korniche lanterns: 1-2 week lead time. Custom Atlas or Stratus: 3-4 weeks. Flat skylights: 2-3 weeks for standard sizes.

03

Roofer coordination

Roof lantern installation usually requires coordination with your roofer to fit upstand kerbs first. We can supply pre-fabricated kerbs or work alongside your roofer.

FAQs

Common questions

Korniche roof lanterns start around £1,800 for a 2m × 1.5m supplied (excluding install and kerb). With installation and structural kerb, typical 3m × 2m installs cost £4,000-£6,000.
Roof lanterns add visual interest and architectural detail (great for traditional and orangery styles). Flat skylights look minimal and contemporary, perfect for cubic box extensions. Both let in similar amounts of light.
Properly installed roof lanterns with self-cleaning solar-control glass and pre-fabricated kerbs are extremely reliable. We've installed thousands and seal failures are vanishingly rare. 10-year warranty included.
