We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Hythe and across the SO45 area. Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear.

What you might be seeing

  • Cappings lifted or rattling
  • Misted units
  • Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas

Why it happens

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.

Roof lanterns in Hythe

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.

How much should it cost?

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

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.
