Flat Roof Extension with Lantern
Flat Roof Extension with Lantern: A Full Bungalow Upgrade in Eastbourne
We recently completed a stunning flat roof extension with lantern in Eastbourne, giving an older bungalow a bright, modern upgrade. The project included a sleek fibreglass roof, a contemporary roof lantern to maximise natural light, stylish new French doors with a cat flap, a new window, plus all internal plastering and electrical work.
The homeowners wanted an all-in-one solution, no juggling multiple trades, no hidden surprises. Our team delivered everything from the structure to the finishing touches, showing how we manage every stage of a build under one roof.

The Project: Roof Extension for a Bungalow
This roof extension on a bungalow was designed to bring in more light and create a comfortable space that could be used all year round. The standout feature was the roof lantern, which poured daylight into the heart of the new room. Pairing this with a strong, weatherproof fibreglass flat roof meant it looked great and performed even better.
We also installed a fresh set of uPVC French doors opening onto the garden, complete with a built-in cat flap, and a new uPVC window to increase ventilation. Once the structure was in place, we completed all plastering and electrics to leave the space fully functional and ready for decorating.
Why Choose Fibreglass for a Flat Roof Extension?
If you’re exploring flat roof extension ideas, fibreglass, also known as GRP, is one of the best materials available. It creates a clean, seamless surface that’s highly durable and perfect for British weather. It’s also ideal for supporting a roof lantern extension, giving both strength and style in one system.
Low-Maintenance and Long-Lasting
Unlike traditional felt or rubber roofing, a fibreglass roof doesn’t need regular maintenance or patching. With no seams or weak spots, it resists leaks and looks sharp for years. For homeowners who want something that works and lasts, it’s a top choice.
The Perfect Match for Roof Lanterns
We installed a stylish roof lantern that transforms the feel of the extension. It floods the room with daylight and adds a sleek, architectural finish. This setup is one of the most popular roof lantern extension ideas for bungalows, especially when natural light is limited. The fibreglass base provides a solid, watertight foundation that ties it all together.
A Complete Job – Start to Finish
One of the best parts of this project was how seamless we made it for the client. They didn’t have to juggle multiple trades, we handled everything. From the ground up. This included building the full base for the flat roof extension, right through to installing windows, French doors, plastering, and electrics.
Our all-in-one service meant less hassle for the customer, with one dedicated team managing every stage of the build.
French Doors and New Window Installed
We fitted a set of high-quality uPVC French doors that opened directly onto the garden, complete with a neatly integrated cat flap for convenience. Alongside that, we installed a new uPVC window to boost natural ventilation and balance the room’s design.
Internal Finishing Work — All Taken Care Of
Once the structure was complete, our team took care of all the internal details too. We completed the plastering to a smooth, professional finish, ready for decorating. The electrics were also installed in-house. It’s a great example of how a roof extension bungalow project can be carried out from start to finish by one trusted company, saving time, money, and stress.
