Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos from Cheshunt (EN8) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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.

Do you need permission in England?
In England, 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, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
