Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos from Holyhead (LL65) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs
- Cappings lifted or rattling
- Chalky or chipped powder coat
- Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas
What usually causes it?
Thermal movement
Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.
Finish damage
Scratches and chips expose bare metal; coastal air speeds up corrosion.
Covering Holyhead and nearby
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
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.
