Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos from Beverley (HU17) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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 Beverley
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.
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.
Close by, we also cover Hull (8 miles), Bridlington (19 miles), Scunthorpe (21 miles).
How much should it cost?
Most aluminium roof lantern repairs jobs come in between £195 and £695 ex VAT (£234–£834 including 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.
