Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs across Cambridgeshire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

What should you expect to pay for aluminium roof lantern repairs in Cambridgeshire?
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?
In England, 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 Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
