We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Redruth and across the TR15 area. Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear.
Is it time for aluminium roof lantern repairs?
- Leaks at bars or ridge
- Chalky or chipped powder coat
- Misted units
Common causes we find
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.
Roof lanterns in Redruth
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.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
Redruth is around 8 miles from Truro, and both are within our Cornwall coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Camborne (4 miles), Truro (8 miles), Falmouth (9 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.
