Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs across East Riding of Yorkshire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs

Scratches and chips expose bare metal; coastal air speeds up corrosion.
Roof lanterns in East Riding of Yorkshire
Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
What should you expect to pay for aluminium roof lantern repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire?
Guide price for aluminium roof lantern repairs: £195–£695 ex VAT (£234–£834 inc 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.
