We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Camborne and across the TR14 area. Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear.
Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs
- Leaks at bars or ridge
- Chalky or chipped powder coat
- Misted units
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.
About Camborne and the TR14 area
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
From Truro to Camborne is roughly 11 miles — all part of the Cornwall area we cover.
If you're just outside Camborne, we also cover Redruth (4 miles), Falmouth (11 miles), Truro (11 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
