In Bushey, as everywhere, aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs

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.

What should you expect to pay in Bushey?
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?
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.
