Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos from Monmouth (NP25) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Do you need permission in Wales?
In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
