How Long Does Having A Roof Lantern In Essex Installed Take, From Start To Finish?

We all lead busy lives, well, usually we do, and we’re now starting to return to at least a semblance of that prior business. Whether it’s having to look after a family, a hectic work schedule (or both) or a frenetic social life, planning well in advance is often the only way in which we can stay on top of things.

Even then, things often change at the last minute anyway! Best made plans and all that… That’s why when people approach us here at Aliwood, they want to know how long it’s going to take between them ordering their roof lantern in Essex, and it being installed. So, we thought we’d answer that very question for you in our blog, today!

The Construction Process

All our roof lights are made to order meaning that, whilst they may take a little longer to make, you know that your individual roof lantern will have been painstakingly crafted for you and you only. You’ll be given an indication of build time when you place your order, as it depends on demand at that particular time. After all, our small, but highly experienced and trained team of carpenters can only do one project at a time! We believe that people would rather their roof lanterns in Essex be built and built well, than to deliver a rushed botch-job. That’s not to say that we don’t work efficiently, however, and we work to our client’s deadlines, wherever possible, without ever compromising on the build quality.

The Delivery Process

All told, it will take between 4-8 weeks for your roof lantern to be delivered after its order. At the time of order, a predetermined delivery date will be arranged, to help reassure you that your custom roof lantern will be ready when we’ve said it will be. For this duration of time, we recommend picking up a book, bingeing a series or two or just some thumb-twiddling to pass the time!

The Installation Process

Installing your roof lantern in Essex is by far the quickest part of the whole process, and definitely the most rewarding! And whilst installing something like a roof lantern can seem like a daunting task at first, we offer a full installation service, as an optional extra, leaving you to relax and for us to get on with the task! If you don’t choose the installation option, then it’s down to you or your builder, but we supply an easy-to-follow installation video and customers have consistently told us that it only takes between 3 and 4 hours to install from start to finish. Of course, just because your custom roof lantern is finished, doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about you! All Aliwood roof lanterns come with a ten-year guarantee for their parts, and a five-year guarantee for parts and labour.

Patience is a virtue – although truth be told, we don’t even feel that a few weeks’ wait is that much! Especially after what we’ve all endured this year! Those few weeks of waiting are going to provide you with a lifetime of light and enjoyment. To us, at least, that seems like a worthwhile wait. Once it’s installed, we recommend pouring a glass of something chilled, sitting back and taking in that evening light.
