Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos from Stockton-on-Tees (TS19) 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
What usually causes it?
Worn gaskets
Gaskets do the weatherproofing; they harden and shrink with age.
Thermal movement
Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

Do you need permission in England?
In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
