Aluminium roof lantern repairs in Hampton

For aluminium roof lantern repairs in Hampton, the job is simple to describe: we replace worn gaskets, cappings, end caps and fixings and touch in the finish on aluminium lanterns. Photos first, a guide price back, then a written fixed price.

Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs

  • Leaks at bars or ridge

Common causes we find

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.

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.

Hampton is around 12 miles from Westminster, and both are within our Greater London coverage.

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

Do you need permission in England?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
