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 Glasgow and Clyde, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs
- Leaks at bars or ridge
- Misted units

Finish damage
Scratches and chips expose bare metal; coastal air speeds up corrosion.
Roof lanterns in Glasgow and Clyde
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.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
