Why it happens
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.

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

How much should it cost?
Guide price for aluminium roof lantern repairs: £195–£695 ex VAT (£234–£834 inc 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.
