Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs

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

Why it happens

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 Carnoustie

Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

We cover Carnoustie as part of Dundee and Angus, about 10 miles from Dundee.

Do you need permission in Scotland?

In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
