Replacement roof glass lantern cost and recommendations?

Hi,

We have a glass lantern in our roof, that's about 8foot wide and 20foot long - and about six foot high - it's got a door in one side to allow access via a staircase.

It's probably about 20 years old now, falling apart a bit and not very noiseproof.

I saw old posts on here recommending a variety of companies that do Lanterns on Ebay for about £1000, but those aren't nearly as big or tall, don't include a door opening or any of the installation costs.

Does anyone have a company they'd recommend for the whole project? And any rough idea of costs?

Any help appreciated!

    Chris Cooper at Traddional roof lanterns near us produce a good product and does bespoke work including the drawings etc. Anything bespoke will be expensive compared to standard sizes/specification

    Or you could get your local Joinery workshop to make one but for one the size you want made in timber I'm guessing you would be looking at somewhere North of £10k... No idea about Upvc ones.
