Roof lanterns bring wonderful natural light into a home, but overhead glazing can also mean strong sunlight in summer and heat loss during colder months.
Cellular blinds contain pockets of air within their honeycomb structure, adding an insulating layer beneath the glazing. When closed, they help manage incoming sunlight and reduce heat loss, while giving you greater control over glare and privacy.
Open them to enjoy the daylight; close them when you want a softer, more sheltered space.
Adjust your blinds at the touch of a button, without reaching overhead or using an operating pole.
We offer Somfy motorisation and can advise on suitable power and control options for your installation. If you would like app control or smart-home integration, we’ll check compatibility and explain any additional equipment required.
Planning a new extension? Speaking to us early helps ensure power supplies and wiring can be considered before decorating is complete.
Every installation starts with the details: the size of the opening, mounting position, fabric choice and the finish you want to achieve.
We’ll help you choose a suitable system and explain how the blinds will look both open and closed. For existing roof lanterns, we’ll assess the available fixing points and power arrangements before recommending a solution.
With over 25 years’ experience, Matt brings specialist knowledge and hands-on care to every project.
Small by design. Specialist by experience.
Can blinds be fitted to an existing roof lantern?
Often, yes. We’ll check the dimensions, fixing surfaces and power options to establish which system is suitable.
Will blackout fabric make the room completely dark?
Blackout fabric blocks light through the fabric itself, but light may still enter around the edges or between blinds. We’ll explain the likely result for your installation before you order.
Can I control several blinds together?
Suitable motorised systems allow blinds to operate together or individually. We’ll recommend controls to suit the layout and how you use the room.
Can you provide an initial estimate from photographs?
Yes. Send us a few photographs and approximate dimensions, and we can discuss suitable options and prepare an initial estimate. Final specifications and measurements are confirmed at survey.
Whether you’re finishing an extension or improving an existing room, we’ll help you find a suitable shading solution.
