About us
...what we do, and why we love doing it.
Annabel and Darren, a husband and wife team, founded Just Roof Lanterns in 2014 after working for some of the country’s leading bespoke glass building manufacturers, known for their all-around excellence. Continuing that tradition, they combined their knowledge and expertise to set up Just Roof Lanterns with the aim of simplifying the process of selecting roof lanterns and related products for orangery extensions. Their top priority is to offer beautiful, high-quality products while placing seamless customer service at the heart of the company.
Annabel, who holds a degree in History of Art and Architecture from Manchester University, is passionate about architectural integrity and aesthetics. She finds real pleasure in products that not only look beautiful but also stand the test of time. Balancing her work and business with the demands of two young children, Annabel understands the importance of clear and concise information to minimize stress during complex renovation projects.
Darren, who studied a degree in Furniture and Product Design at Ravensbourne College in Kent (then validated by the Royal College of Art), honed his design and architecture skills at David Linley Design and Mudditt Design. He worked on numerous high-end residential and commercial projects across the South East, including the London School of Economics. Darren’s specialisation in the technical design of timber-framed glass buildings ensures exceptional craftsmanship and innovation in every project.
Together, Darren’s construction and design expertise and Annabel’s passion for aesthetics and excellent customer service drive their business to offer homeowners, architects, and builders the best roof lanterns in their category. Whether it's the beauty of a traditional timber-framed roof lantern or the sleek profile of a contemporary aluminium one, JRL provides products of the highest quality. In recent years, they’ve expanded their offerings to include a greater range of products including orangery fascias and doors to complement their already outstanding selection.
Whether you’re just researching a potential project or embarking on or at the start of one, we’re here to help you find the right roof lantern.
