Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs

  • Leaks at bars or ridge
  • Misted units
  • Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas

What usually causes it?

Worn gaskets

Gaskets do the weatherproofing; they harden and shrink with age.

Thermal movement

Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.

Roof lanterns in Prestwick

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

We cover Prestwick as part of Ayrshire, about 10 miles from Kilmarnock.

If you're just outside Prestwick, we also cover Ayr (2 miles), Troon (5 miles), Irvine (10 miles).

Do you need permission in Scotland?

In Scotland, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
