Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos from Wrexham (LL13) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

What you might be seeing
- Leaks at bars or ridge
- Cappings lifted or rattling
- Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas
Common causes we find
Thermal movement
Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.
Finish damage
Scratches and chips expose bare metal; coastal air speeds up corrosion.
Covering Wrexham and nearby
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.
If you're just outside Wrexham, we also cover Buckley (9 miles), Mold (10 miles), Deeside (11 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Wrexham?
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 Wales?
Most lantern repairs in Wales need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
