We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Basingstoke and across the RG21 area. Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear.
What you might be seeing
- Leaks at bars or ridge
- Chalky or chipped powder coat
- Misted units
Common causes we find
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.
About Basingstoke and the RG21 area
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.
Basingstoke is around 28 miles from Southampton, and both are within our Hampshire coverage.
Close by, we also cover Fleet (11 miles), Thatcham (12 miles), Yateley (12 miles).
Guide prices for aluminium roof lantern repairs in Basingstoke
Typical range: £195–£695 ex VAT, which is £234–£834 with 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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
