We recently had the pleasure of working with Next Generation Rooflights on the design, manufacture and installation of a large bespoke mono pitch atrium rooflight. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The team demonstrated outstanding professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. The rooflight itself was perfectly tailored to our specifications and enhances the natural light in the space beautifully. The quality of the materials and craftsmanship is evident, and we have received numerous compliments on the stunning design. We were particularly impressed with the team's commitment to meeting our deadlines and their ability to navigate the complexities of the project with ease. Their communication was clear and consistent, ensuring that we were always informed and confident in the progress. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the result and highly recommend Next Generation Rooflights for any rooflight installations. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly commendable.

The Hurlingham Club project demanded a sensitive and technically complex approach, and Next Generation Rooflights proved to be a good partner throughout. From early design development to installation, the NGR team worked with us to deliver bespoke rooflights that both complement the Club’s historic character and improve the quality of the internal spaces. Their technical capability, collaborative approach, and attention to architectural detail were key to the success of the project. We would happily use their expertise on our future projects.

The Hurlingham Club was a highly detailed project that required careful coordination across all trades. Next Generation Rooflights proved to be a reliable partner on site, delivering bespoke rooflight solutions to a very high standard. Their team’s professionalism, proactive approach, and commitment to meeting programme requirements ensured the installation was completed safely and efficiently working closely with the Knight Harwood project team and interfacing sub-contractors.

We had the pleasure of working with Next Generation Rooflights on The Harrison renovation. They designed, manufactured, and installed over 220 m² of bespoke rooflights and specialist glazing, including contemporary structural glass boxes for the new roof terrace, self-supporting pyramidal lanterns, and multi-section rooflights for office and lightwell areas. From the outset, they proactively collaborated with the design team, using their extensive knowledge of overhead glazing to develop details that integrated with the historical and new build elements on this challenging refurbishment. They demonstrated exceptional professionalism, a strong commitment to quality, and an ability to deliver on time and to specification. The project was completed to a high standard and handed over snag free, and their dedication and expertise made the process smooth and efficient. We would highly recommend NGR for any projects requiring premium specification rooflights, delivered with precision, teamwork, and reliability.
