Roof lanterns in Lancaster
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
From Preston to Lancaster is roughly 20 miles — all part of the Lancashire area we cover.
If you're just outside Lancaster, we also cover Morecambe (3 miles), Fleetwood (12 miles), Thornton-Cleveleys (15 miles).
Do you need permission?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.
