We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Bangor, Down and across the BT19 area. Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear.
What you might be seeing
- Cappings lifted or rattling
- Chalky or chipped powder coat
- Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas
Why it happens
Worn gaskets
Gaskets do the weatherproofing; they harden and shrink with age.
Thermal movement
Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.
Roof lanterns in Bangor, Down
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.
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.
Neighbouring places we cover include Newtownards (5 miles), Holywood (6 miles), Carrickfergus (7 miles).
