Sky Pods & Roof Lanterns in Lincolnshire

Serving Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk & Rutland

A sky pod — also known as a roof lantern or rooflight — is one of the most dramatic and effective ways to transform a dark or enclosed living space. By introducing natural daylight from above, a sky pod can make even the most compact room feel open, airy, and connected to the sky. Pilgrim uPVC Specialists Ltd supplies and installs premium sky pods and roof lanterns across Boston, Lincolnshire and the surrounding area, ideal for flat roof extensions, kitchen-diners, orangeries, and single-storey rear extensions.

What We Offer

Aluminium Sky Pods

Slim, thermally broken aluminium frames with maximum glass area. Available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit any flat or low-pitch roof.

Self-Cleaning Glass

Optional self-cleaning glass coating uses UV light and rainwater to break down and wash away dirt — keeping your sky pod crystal clear with minimal maintenance.

Solar Control Glazing

Prevent overheating in summer with solar control glass that reduces heat gain while maintaining excellent light transmission and clarity.

Bespoke Sizing

Sky pods are available in a wide range of standard sizes or can be manufactured to bespoke dimensions to suit your specific roof opening.

Thermally Broken Frames

Thermally broken aluminium profiles prevent cold bridging and condensation, ensuring your sky pod is as energy-efficient as it is beautiful.

Wide Colour Range

Available in any RAL colour including white, anthracite grey, black, and dual-colour options — inside and outside colours can be specified independently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a sky pod and a rooflight?

The terms are often used interchangeably. A rooflight is a general term for any glazed unit set into a roof. A sky pod or roof lantern typically refers to a raised, lantern-style structure that sits above the roof line, allowing light to enter from multiple angles and creating a more dramatic visual effect than a flat rooflight.

Can a sky pod be fitted to any flat roof?

Sky pods are designed for flat or very low-pitch roofs. The roof structure must be capable of supporting the weight of the unit, and the opening must be correctly formed and waterproofed. We will survey your roof and advise on suitability and any preparatory work required.

Do sky pods need planning permission?

In most cases, fitting a sky pod to an existing flat roof does not require planning permission under permitted development rights. However, if your property is in a conservation area, is listed, or if the sky pod would be visible from the street, you may need consent. We can advise during your free survey.

Will a sky pod make the room too hot in summer?

This is a common concern. We recommend solar control glass for south-facing or large sky pods — it significantly reduces heat gain while maintaining excellent light transmission. We will advise on the best glass specification for your orientation and usage during your survey.

What sizes are available?

We offer a wide range of standard sizes from approximately 600mm x 600mm up to 2000mm x 4000mm and beyond. Bespoke sizes can be manufactured to suit your specific roof opening. We will measure your opening and recommend the most appropriate size during your free survey.
