We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Armagh and across the BT60 area. Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear.
What you might be seeing
- Leaks at bars or ridge
- Cappings lifted or rattling
- Misted units
What usually causes it?
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.
About Armagh and the BT60 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.
If you're just outside Armagh, we also cover Portadown (10 miles), Dungannon (11 miles), Craigavon (13 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Armagh?
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 Northern Ireland?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Northern Ireland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
