In Exmouth, as everywhere, aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

What you might be seeing

  • Leaks at bars or ridge
  • Cappings lifted or rattling
  • Misted units

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.

Covering Exmouth and nearby

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.

Exmouth is around 9 miles from Exeter, and both are within our Devon coverage.

Neighbouring places we cover include Exeter (9 miles), Newton Abbot (11 miles), Torquay (12 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per lantern£195–£695 ex VAT£234–£834 inc VAT

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?

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.
