Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.

Guide prices for aluminium roof lantern repairs in Hertford

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

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.
