In Newbury, as everywhere, aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs

  • Leaks at bars or ridge
  • Chalky or chipped powder coat
  • 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.

Finish damage

Scratches and chips expose bare metal; coastal air speeds up corrosion.

Covering Newbury and nearby

Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.

From Reading to Newbury is roughly 16 miles — all part of the Berkshire area we cover.

If you're just outside Newbury, we also cover Thatcham (3 miles), Basingstoke (14 miles), Didcot (15 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Newbury?

Guide price, per lantern£195–£695 ex VAT£234–£834 inc VAT

Typical range: £195–£695 ex VAT, which is £234–£834 with VAT, per lantern. Towers or scaffold, where needed, are priced into the quote. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.

Do you need permission in England?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
